2015 McHenry Hohnen Hazel Vineyard Chardonnay

Coming from the esteemed Hazel's Vineyard which is certified Organic & biodynamic this site is exceptional due to its soil type and close proximity to the ocean. The 2015 vintage was exceptional at Hazel's which offered respite from the heat and an even growing season that has lead to a very age-worthy Chardonnay. Only just coming into its drinking window now this is one of the greatest Chardonnay's from the region.

Reviews

"The fruit for this single vineyard cuvee hails from southern Margaret River, slightly cooler than the rest of the zone. Apricot and white peach flavours wind around a creamy core of cashew kernel, curd and truffle, derived from a wild yeast fermentation, lees work and high quality toasty oak. The wine boasts intensity of flavour and sneaky persistence, building nicely as it opens. Still, the overall impression is one of tension, smoky chiselled phenolics and punchy acidity steering the ship. Cool and brimming with intent."
