McHenry Hohnen, 'Laterite Hills', Chardonnay 2022
DESCRIPTION
A great Margaret River Chardonnay from McHenry Hohnen, a pioneer of organic and biodynamic winemaking in Australia.
Grown on the red soils of Laterite Hills, this wine reveals vibrant minerality and remarkable precision. The 2022 vintage, marked by ideal ripeness and natural freshness, offers outstanding balance.
On the nose, citrus and white peach mingle with white flowers, lifted by delicate hints of toasted hazelnut and brioche. On the palate, a broad, elegant texture leads to a saline, radiant finish. Perfect with oysters, sea bass ceviche, herb-roasted chicken, or creamy cheeses like Chaource.
Celebrated by international critics (95+ points Robert Parker), this Chardonnay rivals some top Burgundy whites at a far more accessible price.

REGION
Margaret River
Australia
Margaret River, located in the southwest of Australia, is one of the country’s true wine gems. Renowned for its elegant Chardonnays with intense citrus notes and its highly refined Cabernet Sauvignons, the region enjoys a temperate ocean-influenced climate similar to that of Bordeaux. This unique terroir produces wines with a more European style, combining freshness, precision, and excellent ageing potential.
Today, the region also captivates with expressive blends and limited-production cuvées of remarkable finesse.
