McHenry Hohnen, 'Hazel's Vineyard', Chardonnay 2021
DESCRIPTION
A complex wine with persistence, power and grace that is a true representation of southern Margaret River. Aromas of tangerine peel, white flower and ruby grapefruit give way to stone fruit and an enticing nougat element. Creamy, nutty and textured, this Chardonnay is both powerful in its concentration of fruit and held back by a precise line of acidity.
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.
Beautiful mineral tension and hazelnut aromas. I loved the contrast between liveliness and creaminess.
