Hirsch Hill Estate
Yarra Valley Chardonnay
Yarra Valley, Port Phillip, Victoria, Australia
What’s wrong with this picture?
There’s clearly not enough wine in my glass is what’s wrong with it 😂
A big thanks to Hirsch Hill in VIC’s Yarra Valley for sending over this 2017 Chardonnay for us to try. It barely lasted 2 seconds in our house before it ‘had’ to be consumed 😂
This Chardy was hand harvested and matured on lees for 6 months in French hogsheads (30% new). It retails for $25 and was crafted by winemaker Rob Dolan.
Here’s our notes on it:
It looks like sunshine ☀️ in the glass. Sweet orchard fruit and oak aromas rise from the glass while on the palate it’s crisp and fresh with a vibrant creamy texture. Think Granny Smith apples and nectarines with a bright citrus note that suggests this one will only improve further in the bottle. Yum!
This wine was sent to me as a sample, I was under no obligation to post about it.

I recently received this sample of the 2016 Chardonnay from the Hirsch Hill team which went down super quick 😜 What can I say, I just love Chardonnay!
It retails for $20 (so $16 with the discount code 😀) and is hand harvested on their estate in the Yarra Valley. It spends some time in French oak barrels to build mouthfeel, texture and complexity.
I found it a pale yellow with a golden tinge on the eye. The nose made me think of honeydew melon, spiced citrus lemon cream and interestingly a whiff of choc orange 🤷♀️ In the mouth it’s full of stone fruit with refreshing acidity and a lovely long creamy lemon finish.

Next up on the Wine Selectors adventure is this Hirsch Hill Estate 2015 Chardonnay from VIC’s Yarra Valley. I was very intrigued to try this wine since it’s been described as ‘Chablis-like’.
In the glass it’s a pale yellow colour with a very delicate and mellow nose. There’s hints of minerality, nuts and vanilla bean. While in the mouth it has a certain elegance to it with notes of honey, blossoms and white peaches. Very enjoyable!
