The Howard Park Chardonnay is selected from own Allingham vineyard, located in the southern reaches of the Margaret River region between the hamlets of Witchcliffe and Karridale. This part of Margaret River is the Karridale sub region as proposed by Dr. John Gladstones. The higher degree of cloud cover and prevailing southerly breezes facilitate a long, gentle ripening and the full evolution of flavour and fine structure that define the region’s finest Chardonnay.
Intense lemon and subtle grapefruit aromas, fruit driving the bouquet, but with background oak and lees and barrel-fermented complexities. A very fine, powerful, intense chardonnay, with a cleansing savouriness and appetising aftertaste thanks in part to a light phenolic grip. Long, long carry. 17 JUN 2019
