2022 McHenry Hohnen Burnside Vineyard Chardonnay, Margaret River

Bright and youthful, medium depth yellow colour, the bouquet shows creamy lees and apple pastry turnover, background lemon/citrus and there's a touch of complexity although the wine is still young and has more living to do. Good length and drive, fresh and appetising at the finish. 31 DEC 2023 Drink 2024–2034

Voluptuous and expressive, this wine shows fresh almond pastry, white nectarine, and Nougat aromatics. Wild fermentation adds a flinty complexity and the extended time on fine lees contributes a delicious savoury character to the palate, which is powerful yet defined by a fine frame of natural acidity. From an old heritage vineyard on the south bank of the Margaret River itself, this Chardonnay captures the distinctive character of this site.
