Reviews and Ratings

Deborah Podurgiel WSET IV Candidate - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Absolutely stunning! Effortlessly complex and like a dance of veils, Hester Creek Estate Winery’s Storied Series Pinot Bianco 2022 teases out its flavours layer by layer. Produced from 100% Pinot Blanc grapes from the winery's historic estate property, 67% of the grapes for this vintage were sourced from Block 4 with the balance from Block 9, and 86% of the grapes were whole berry pressed into stainless steel tank for fermentation with the balance barrel-fermented in two-year-old French oak barrels.

Just dry and medium-bodied, this wine is super fresh. It even looks fresh in the glass with its light straw-green hue and medium-intensity aromas of ripe green melon, lemon zest, dried pear, fine herbs, vanilla, lightly toasted nut, grassy and minerally notes, silky and lingering on the palate. Only 350 cases made of the 2022 vintage and it is only available at the winery’s wine shop, Bench club and online. Drinking beautifully now through 2025. Tasted September 2023.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
