McHenry Hohnen, 'Laterite Hills', Chardonnay 2022
DESCRIPTION
A true reflection of place and season, this Chardonnay pays homage to McHenry Hohnen's philosophy of aging and winemaking. On the nose, ginger spice, nectarine and beeswax leap from the glass, complemented by complex notes of toasted almonds and rubbed matches. The palate is creamy, yet refreshing with a mealy texture. White peach and pink grapefruit are abundant, along with notes of freshly baked pastry.
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.
