"The key to Hoddles Creek’s success has been the focus on chardonnay and pinot noir. The Premier (1er) Yarra Valley range includes chardonnay, pinot noir, and pinot blanc with its Burgundian-looking label. I don’t know of a better pinot blanc in the country than that from Hoddles Creek. This neutrally flavoured classic from Alsace suits the Upper Yarra and here produces a minerally, texturally enticing white". Peter Forrestal
