Hewitson, 'Miss Harry' Chardonnay 2022
DESCRIPTION
Hewitson is not your average winemaker. Dean Hewitson, aka the ‘Mad Hatter,’ makes extraordinary wine, some from extraordinarily old vines that date back to 1853 (P.P. - pre-phylloxera). Miss Harry is picked from the finest cool slope Chardonnay grapes in the region. Naturally acidic, this wine is softened by its mineral elegance and notes of white peach and baked pear fruit. The perfect wine to pair with a cheeseboard (goat cheese, specifically), or a grapefruit, avocado and shrimp salad.
REGION
Adelaide Hills
Australie
Although less well known than Mendoza, San Juan stands out among Argentina's great vineyards. Located in the west of the country, at the foot of the Andes, this region enjoys a desert climate ideal for viticulture. The winemakers of San Juan produce wines of great personality, with Syrah as the flagship grape variety, giving intense, spicy reds. Excellent Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay are also found here, reflecting the arid, sun-drenched terroir. Thanks to the altitude and temperature variations, the grapes develop good concentration and fresh acidity, making for well-balanced, long-keeping wines. Internationally acclaimed, San Juan wines seduce with their unique character.

I find this Chardonnay fresh and floral with a touch of minerality.
