A classy wine with a fine, peppery texture.\\\u0026quot; \\n\\nJames Suckling - \\\u0026quot;This has such impressively ripe yet poised style and offers bold blackberries, raspberries and plums with chocolate, leaves and bark, too. The palate has impressively supple and fleshy style and delivers ripe dark-berry flavors with freshness. Drinking well already. Drink or hold.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nNed Goodwin MW - James Halliday \\\u0026quot;When I think of Brokenwood, I think of this wine. The medium-bodied stalwart that showcases the savoury steadying hand that the Hunter imparts to its better wines. Red cherry, damson plum, baking spice, a seasoning of vanillan oak. There's a loamy, earthen feel to the swathe of tannin, gentle enough to encroach upon, yet firm enough to ensure ageability.\\\u0026quot; \\n\\nHuon Hooke - The Real Review \\\u0026quot;Bright, deep purple\/red hue, with a nose of ground black peppercorns and subtle red fruits, the palate intense and shrill, youthfully aggressive with a little astringency from acidity and tannins, gritty and somewhat unready. It's a bit immature, but has very good potential\\\u0026quot; \\n\\nJames Halliday - \\\u0026quot;An archetypal Hunter Valley shiraz: medium-bodied with predominantly earthy\/black fruits peppered by fine tannins that underwrite the cellaring certainty of a pure-bred wine.\\\u0026quot; (2018 Vintage) \\n\\nMike Bennie - \\\u0026quot;Fragrant wine of pure-feeling fruit expression, just shy of medium weight, shaped with fine ribbons of tannin. Anise, kirsch and graphite mineral notes come to the fore. It’s a wine that feels sleek and spicy, silky and elegant, svelte and succulent, a touch of class, but with high drinkability in tow\\\u0026quot; (2017 vintage)\\n\\nThe Winefront ~ \\\u0026quot;It’s grown on the Graveyard vineyard; it’s essentially a “declassified Graveyard Shiraz”. It sees all-French oak, of course.\\\u0026quot; (2017 vintage)\\n\\nJames Suckling - \\\u0026quot;This is a deep and pretty red with crushed blackberries, spices and dried flowers. Rose-petal undertones. Full-bodied yet tight and very integrated. Some smoke and tea undertones. Ripe fruit. Sliced meat, too.\\\u0026quot; (2017 vintage)\\n\\nJames Halliday - \\\u0026quot;This may be the junior brother to Graveyard, but it's a brilliant one, with 25% new French oak, the grapes coming from the replanted vines on the Graveyard Vineyard. You have to work out whether you want six bottles of this or one bottle of Graveyard\\\u0026quot; (2017 vintage)\\n\\nThe Winemaker ~ \\\u0026quot;Lovely mid depth colour with purple tints. Lifted red spice, ginger and earthy notes on the aroma. Ripe fruit and low oak impact on the palate, with the new oak providing a slight vanillin sweetness. The ripe fruit tannins are perfect and with the acid give a very long finish to the wine. Typical medium bodied Hunter Valley Shiraz from a great year that will reward for many years\\\u0026quot; (2017 Vintage)\\n\\nEstablished in 1970 Brokenwood Wines is one of Australia's most reputable premium wine labels and a must-visit in the Hunter Valley.

The Graveyard Vineyard, planted to Shiraz in 1968, was bought in 1978 and by the mid 1980s was producing a premium Single Vineyard wine. The first Langton's Classification of Premium Australian Wine was launched in 1993 and the Graveyard Shiraz was then, and remains, the highest-placed Hunter Valley Shiraz.\\n\\nThe Hunter Valley is the best-known and most highly prized wine region in New South Wales.

It is hardly surprising that the wines are immaculately made from a technical viewpoint. Dean sources 30-year-old Riesling from the Eden Valley and 70-year-old shiraz from McLaren Vale; he also makes a Barossa Valley Mourvedre from vines planted in 1853 at Rowland Flat, and Barossa Valley Shiraz and Grenache from 60-year-old vines at Tanunda.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nThe Barossa Valley is an extremely important wine-producing region within the Barossa zone of South Australia, particularly associated with powerful red wines from the red wine grape variety Shiraz. A prestigious and internationally renowned region, it is not only home to some of the oldest vineyards and wineries in Australia but produces some of its most recognizable and sought-after brands. A striking feature of the Barossa Valley's wine landscape is the presence of very old vines, proudly showcased on many wine labels and during vineyard tours.\\n\\nShiraz, also known as Syrah is a popular red wine. Though the spiritual homeland of this red grape is France, Syrah has been planted throughout the world to great success. It expresses itself differently depending on the climate, soil and regional style.\\n\\nSyrah is typically bold and full-bodied, with aromatic notes of smoke, black fruit and pepper spice. Stylistically, it can be round and fruity, or dense and tannic. And in warmer New World regions like Australia, Syrah is most often be called Shiraz. \\n\\nWinemakers who work in cooler-climate growing regions, both in the Old World and New World, tend to call their wines Syrah. The most famous examples come from the northern Rhône Valley of France, notably Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie. In the New World, in regions like Sonoma Coast, California; Yarra Valley, Australia; and parts of Chile, the wines are called Syrah because they emulate the leaner, acid-driven, savory styles of the Old World French classics.\\n\\nShiraz tends to come from warmer growing climates, namely the South Australian regions of Barossa, McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills. Stylistically, these wines are lush, fruit-forward examples that embody the warmer, sunnier climate. Shiraz is so important to Australian viticulture that it is the most planted grape variety in the majority of Australian vineyards and has become virtually synonymous with the country's wine regions, and in particular the Barossa Valley.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":15299,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16711680},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"arial,sans,sans-serif\",\"16\":8}' data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":157}{\"1\":159,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":177}{\"1\":289,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":304}{\"1\":620,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":634}{\"1\":980,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1006}{\"1\":1717,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1742}{\"1\":2086,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":2103}{\"1\":3792,\"2\":{\"2\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16776960}}}{\"1\":3793,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":3808}{\"1\":4401,\"2\":{\"2\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16776960}}}{\"1\":4402}'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion Awards\u003c\/strong\u003e \"It is a graceful wine with a silky texture, red and purple fruits foremost; the tannins superfine, the finish lingering, the aftertaste fresh.

The combination of a distinguished winemaking family, the reinvention of a much-maligned wine region, the unlocking of the potential of a mature vineyard and a general sense of creativity, have all contributed to a strong currency. \\n\\nCorymbia is the newish project of Rob and Genevieve Mann. The Mann family, of course, are generational wine producers in WA, with a history of iconic wines and vineyards. Rob, formerly working with Hardys, Cape Mentelle and Newton Vineyard in Napa Valley, has returned home and made a mark.\\n\\nThe family vineyard in Swan Valley is dry grown and organically farmed. While winemaking draws on the Manns’ suite of expertise and diversity of influences, it has been pared back for Corymbia, letting the fruit and character of the wines take the spotlight. \\n\\nThat Swan Valley has been put on a pedestal is wonderful, and a celebration of older vineyards, unique soil profile and a general sense of generational endeavor is exciting for the region. There’s an undercurrent of winemakers amplifying the region’s potential, but arguably Corymbia is the current totem.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nHuon Hooke \\\u0026quot;The Mann family are winemaking royalty in Western Australia.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nCorymbia is a new winery launched by one of the founding families of Western Australian wine. The Manns have grown grapes and made wine in the Swan Valley, Western Australia's oldest wine-growing region for over a century. Corymbia wines are critically acclaimed, organically-farmed, single-vineyard wines. Founder, Rob Mann is considered one of Australia's best contemporary winemakers. He was the senior winemaker at Hardy’s Tintara, and Cape Mentelle, where during his ten-year tenure the winery was twice awarded 'Australia's Producer of the Year' and Rob 'Australian Winemaker of the Year'. Prior to founding Corymbia he was Senior Winemaker at LVMH’s Newton Vineyard in the Napa Valley.\\n\\nSwan Valley is a sub-region of the Swan District wine region just north of Perth, in Western Australia. The Swan District is Western Australia’s oldest wine region, having been planted by English settlers soon after their arrival in 1829. For almost 150 years it was the only significant wine-producing region in Western Australia and today it's also home to the state's largest winery. Some of Western Australia's finest wines are produced in the Swan Valley.\\n\\nCabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir.

In Spain it is rosado and in Italy rosato. Rosé’s flavours and styles are as varied as the food it matches.  Rosé predates white and red wine with ancient rosé-style wines dating back 8,000 years. The colour of a rosé can vary dramatically. A deep fuchsia pink rosé may be bone-dry, though it’s likely to be full flavoured given balance by a gentle squeeze of tannin. Tannin primarily comes from the skin of a grape – as does colour. It’s tannin that sets rosé apart from white and red wine. Almost all wine grapes have clear juice; it’s the skins that give the colour. Grenache is the most popular grape used in rosé, with its lifted confectionary aromas, juicy red fruit flavours and mild-mannered tannins creating the textbook triumvirate for rosé. The temperate Provence region of France is home to some of the world’s most accliamed rosé, perhaps naturally, given it’s widely planted with grenache and its Rhône varietals; mourvèdre, cinsault and syrah. \u0026quot;}\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze Ned Goodwin MW (Halliday Wine Companion) \u003c\/strong\u003e(2021 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Natalie MacLean \u003c\/strong\u003e(2020 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze Ned Goodwin MW (Halliday Companion) \u003c\/strong\u003e(2020 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Jane Faulkner (Halliday Companion) \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Carolyn Evans Hammond \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 James Button (Decanter) \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrophy Winner - 2018 Royal Melbourne Wine Show for Best Rosé - Top Gold medal, awarded 96 points \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Silver Medal - Australian Alternative Varieties Wine Show 2017 \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNASAA Certified Biodynamic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Winemaker\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Elegant and refined, but with some texture and interest.

Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc dominate McLaren Vale's white grape varieties, with a plethora of other regional and international specialties such as Merlot, Zinfandel, Tempranillo, Sangiovese and Viognier also making their mark.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTempranillo is a red grape variety grown throughout Spain and Portugal and to a lesser degree in other parts of the wworld.

Corymbia wines are critically acclaimed, organically-farmed, single-vineyard wines. Founder, Rob Mann is considered one of Australia's best contemporary winemakers. He was senior winemaker at Hardy’s Tintara, and Cape Mentelle, where during his ten year tenure the winery was twice awarded 'Australia's Producer of the Year' and Rob 'Australian Winemaker of the Year'. Prior to founding Coymbia he was Senior Winemaker at LVMH’s Newton Vineyard in the Napa Valley.\\n\\nSwan Valley is a sub-region of the Swan District wine region just north of Perth, in Western Australia. The Swan District is Western Australia’s oldest wine region, having been planted by English settlers soon after their arrival in 1829. For almost 150 years it was the only significant wine-producing region in Western Australia and today it's also home to the state's largest winery. Some of Western Australia's finest wines are produced in the Swan Valley.\\n\\nCabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":31683,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"4\":[null,2,16711680],\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":[null,2,0],\"15\":\"arial,sans,sans-serif\",\"16\":12,\"17\":0}' data-sheets-textstyleruns=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Halliday Wine Companion, Erin Larkin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 The Wine Front, Gary Walsh\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Robert Parker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97\/100 Halliday Wine Companion, Erin Larkin \u003c\/strong\u003e(2019 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 The Wine Front\u003c\/strong\u003e (2019 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - The Real Review, Huon Hooke \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 Halliday Wine Companion, Jane Faulkner \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 The Real Review, Nick Butler \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 The Wine Front \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 Jeremy Oliver \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 James Suckling \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOrganic \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHalliday Wine Companion, Erin Larkin\u003c\/strong\u003e \"This wine has been tasted blind a number of times recently, and it is fascinating each time.

The blend is endowed with vibrant acidity and grassy aromas by Sauvignon Blanc, and its structure and mouthfeel from Semillon.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"McHenry Hohnen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44190644994280,"sku":"MH-RRSH20-7506","price":45.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/files\/mchenry-hohnen-rocky-road-shiraz-organic-2018-margaret-river-western-australia-pop-up-wine-1-32269445726440.png?v=1775454568"},{"product_id":"mchenry-hohnen-hazels-vineyard-chardonnay-2020-margaret-river-western-australia-1","title":"McHenry Hohnen Hazels Vineyard Chardonnay 2020 ~ Margaret River, Western Australia","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97\/100 The Wine Advocate, Robert Parker \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97\/100 Halliday Wine Companion Awards 2023, Erin Larkin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 The Wine Front \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97\/100 Wine Pilot, Angus Hughson (2019 vintage)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Halliday Wine Companion, Erin Larkin (2019 vintage)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 The Real Review, Aaron Brasher (2019 vintage)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Decanter World Wine Awards (2019 vintage) \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Decanter World Wine Awards (2018 vintage)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 The Real Review (2018 vintage)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Nick Stock (2017 vintage)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Huon Hooke (2016 vintage)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 James Halliday (2016 vintage)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 The Wine Front (2016 vintage)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5 Star Winery - James Halliday (2016 vintage)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop Chardonnay Halliday Wine Companion Awards 2023 (2020 vintage)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Halliday Wine Companion - Australian Winery of the Year 2022 \u0026amp; 2023\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine Advocate, Robert Parker\u003c\/strong\u003e \"...This is extremely appealing.

All single-vineyard chardonnays are made in the same way here, highlighting the differences in terroir: Hand picked, whole-bunch pressed, full solids, wild ferment in barrel (25% new) and 4 months' maturation, partial mlf, fortnightly bâtonnage. Where the Burnside is granitic, mineral and fine, this is pithy, saline and expansive, with layers of cheesecloth and lanolin amongst the ripe stone fruit. More volume and density of flavour than the Burnside (neither here nor there qualitatively, simply an observation), this is sensational. Utterly.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nErin Larkin, Halliday's Wine Companion \\\u0026quot;All 3 single-vineyard chardonnays are made in the same manner: hand picked, whole-bunch pressed, wild ferment in barrel (25% new) with full solids, partial mlf. This is perhaps my favourite (by a whisker) of these 2 single-vineyard chardonnays. It has a bitter phenolic kick through the finish that adds a layer of sparkle, interest and excitement to the wine and creates a salty undulation through the finish. It moves in a dappled way, this wine. I like it\\\u0026quot; (2019 vintage) \\n\\nAaron Brasher, The Real Review \\\u0026quot;Grilled nuts, grapefruit pith, marzipan, nougat, brine and struck-match aromas, really complex and alluring. Focused and fine on the palate, which is tight, citrusy, pithy, layered and long. There's real power and drive in the fruit, but a finesse and elegance to it. The oak and acidity sit beautifully within the wine and create layers of sophisticated bliss. (2019 vintage) \\n\\nAngus Hughson, winepilot.com \\\u0026quot;From a southern vineyard located close to the coast, this is the most aromatically shy of the three wines but it carries exceptional complexity with bacon fat, delicatessen and melon fruit aromas plus honeyed oak in the background. It then builds considerably on the palate thanks to juicy acidity which provides fantastic energy with a distinctive saline edge to citrus fruits plus well integrated oak before a generous, pure finish.\\\u0026quot; (2019 vintage)\\n\\nDecanter \\\u0026quot;Fresh and zippy with hints of nougat, chargrilled pineapple and creamy custard. There's a density to the palate; concentration of fruit weight. Fresh focused and racey\\\u0026quot; (2019 vintage)\\n\\nCampbell Mattinson “Elegant power is a good way to describe it. It's flinty but not too much so, fleshed with stone fruit, touched up with meal and green apple, and intricately complex to close. All the while sweet fruit flows. It's an easy wine to get excited over.” (2018 vintage)\\n\\nDecanter “Soft and creamy, with intense lemon curd augmenting baking spice, green pineapple and mango skin. Packed and phenolic, with freshness and length.” 92018 vintage)\\n\\nThe Winemaker “The nose opens with notes of oyster shell, frangipani and sea spray with delicate nashi pear pulp and nectarine. Wild fermentation with full solids provides flinty complexity and extended time on lees adds intrigue and excellent length to the palate. A distinctive saline acidity and attractive chalk-like structure complement the mineral nature of this unique Southern Margaret River vineyard near the Indian Ocean.”\\n\\nMike Bennie, The Wine Front \\\u0026quot;Far out. How good are McHenry Hohnen wines getting? And quite diverse in their feel compared to most from the region. Stellar. Lots of battonage, lots of lees, “I’m just obsessed with flavour” says winemaker Julian Grounds. Righteous. So much to like here. A quietly powerful, detailed chardonnay that shows with citrus, green apple, lashings of ‘mineral’, faint toast and whiffs of peanut\/cashew. The palate follows a similar route, powerful in flavour but not stretching the palate with oomph, instead, precise, tight, true and long. Scintillating stuff here.\\\u0026quot; (2017 Vintage)\\n\\nNick Butler, The Real Review \\\u0026quot;An attractive mix of white stone fruits, citrus rind and classy oak. It's creamy on the front palate, which dives into a tart lemon and lime acidity. Bright, fresh and balanced; it's a lovely wine, though lacking the core and fruit weight of warmer ripening seasons.\\\u0026quot; (2017 Vintage)\\n\\nNick Stock, James Suckling \\\u0026quot;Quite savory and elegant chardonnay with aromas of fresh pastry and dry stones, as well as white melon and light peach. The palate has sleek, elegantly cut style with melon and peach here, too, Very crisp, long and elegant. Drink or hold. Screw cap.\\\u0026quot; (2017 Vintage)\\n\\nGary Walsh, The Wine Front \\\u0026quot;White peach, mint nougat, subtle spice, stones and struck match. Medium bodied, cool and flinty, beautiful fine acidity, citrus and a suggestion of lemon curd, with a tight long lemon-laced finish. Great bone structure here, and a fine and exciting wine to drink.\\\u0026quot; (2016 Vintage)\\n\\nNick Ryan, The Australian \\\u0026quot;The coolest of the three sites, feeling the force of the ocean breezes and planted on coastal sand. It shows. The wine is lean, tight and linear, smells of sea spray and the pith of preserved lemons, and hums with a fine, flinty acidity. For now, my pick of the three.\\\u0026quot; (2016 Vintage)\\n\\nPeter Forrestal, Decanter \\\u0026quot;Sourced from an estate vineyard in the region's cool south near Witchcliffe, this has restrained power and tightly coiled grapefruit and citrus flavours, before a mouth-puckering finish that lingers.\\\u0026quot; (2015 Vintage)\\n\\nRay Jordan, The West Australian Wine Guide 2017 \\\u0026quot;Another superb wine from this vineyard which always seems to to produce wines of such delicate finesse and fineness. This is right on the money but still with an intensity and persistence that stamps the chardonnay style. The best yet from this vineyard.\\\u0026quot; (2015 Vintage)\\n\\nMike Bennie, The Wine Front \\\u0026quot; We’ve all known that McHenry Hohnen has been a bit of a secret weapon for terrific (chardonnay particularly) Margaret River wines, but with their shift to biodynamic farming and now a new winemaker in Julian Grounds, hold onto your hats. Grounds has done his time at Giant Steps with Steve Flamsteed, and has papal blessings from Flamsteed in this new role. Indeed, word on the street is, many, many people are thrilled for this move. A touch of high end Yarra hits Margs. Nice one. Grounds in his early days has already reached out to say gday, personally, unprompted it felt, which says something about determination and intent. Stay tuned.\\n\\nComplex bouquet shows stone fruit, green apple, faint flint\/struck match, whiff of grilled nuts, faint fern character. Pitch perfect delicate. More assertive to taste with a flood of green apple, savoury oatmeal and nuttiness, gentle cedar spice, cool acidity. Even flow, superb balance, elegance. It’s very, very good, seamless, supple chardonnay. Classic. \\\u0026quot; (2015 Vintage)\\n\\nJames Halliday \\\u0026quot;The Calgardup Brook Vineyard lies just inland from the coast, with well weathered sandy, schisty soils; hand-picked, whole bunch-pressed to French oak (20% new), wild-fermented, no mlf, aged on lees. Lemon meringue is a great call for the bouquet, some spice also in the action; elegant white peach flavours give way to bouncy grapefruit zest on the well balanced and long finish.\\\u0026quot; (2014 Vintage)\\n\\nHuon Hooke, The Real Review \\\u0026quot;Light, bright yellow hue and a lifted ethyl acetate aroma, the volatility confirmed by the palate. It has issues. Most drinkers would not identify them, but the VA (volatile acidity) did inhibit the flavour and aroma. Extraordinarily, though, the longer this wine was exposed to the air, the better it tasted. Food (Comte cheese) also helped tame the beast. It soon became delicious. Very dry, nicely concentrated flavour and acidity, layers of complex aromas and flavours, good oak and 'worked' lees characters. A very good wine indeed. Wild ferment VA is forgiven.\\\u0026quot; (2014 Vintage)\\n\\nJames Halliday \\\u0026quot;Whole bunch-pressed, wild yeast-fermented, matured in French barriques (20% new) with lees contact. Is very focused and tight, its flavours wound up in a ball of fruit, with generic white stone fruit and melon lurking in the shadows.\\\u0026quot; (2013 Vintage)\\n\\nHuon Hooke, The Real Review \\\u0026quot;Medium to full straw-yellow hue. The bouquet is toasty and lightly smoky, attractive and quite complex, with richness and concentration, depth and weight. Indeed, it's an opulent style, full-bodied and generously proportioned. The finish is very long and resonant, partly due to the heat from apparently high alcohol. (it certainly seems higher than the stated 13.5%) This needs food and would cope with strongly flavoured white meat dishes.\\\u0026quot; (2013 Vintage)\\n\\nJames Halliday Wine Companion 2014 \\\u0026quot;This has the lightest colour of the three, here the soils, just inland from the coast, are sandy and schisty, and well weathered; it is the most intense and elegant, with white stone fruit and grapefruit at its core.\\\u0026quot; (2012 Vintage)\\n\\nJames Halliday Wine Companion 2012 \\\u0026quot;Bright straw-green; the faintly funky bouquet is complex, an appropriate introduction for a palate with layers of flavour of white peach and fig\/cashew ex partial mlf, before glorious grapefruit acidity takes over and drives the wine through to its lingering, pure finish.\\\u0026quot; (2009 Vintage)\\n\\nMcHenry Hohnen was founded by one of the pioneers of the Margaret River winemaking region, David Hohnen and his brother in law, Murray McHenry, an accomplished fine wine retailer.

Chardonnay is made in a wide range of styles from lean to rich, creamy white wines aged in oak.
