Pale lemon. Aromatically in another league, this has a huge array of stone fruit, citrus fruit, tropical fruit and just enough oak to strike a balance. On the palate it is big and unabashed. Classic Margaret River Chardonnay with layers of peach, all manner of citrus, hints of apple, melon and passion fruit alongside vanilla, clove and cinnamon. This tapers to a brilliant finish. 2024-2028–MP
McHenry Hohnen Laterite Hills Chardonnay, Margaret River
Notes of struck match, buttered popcorn, dried honey and bacon fat speak of barrel-ferment on full lees in this pale lemon wine. The fruit character is slightly cooler climate, with more citrus and stone fruit. This is a dead-ringer for top-drawer Burgundy – there's everything here including oak, a huge range of cool-climate fruit characteristics, bouncy acidity, and stunning length. 2025-2030–MP
