McHenry Hohnen Rocky Road Pet Nat 2023 ~ Margaret River, Western Australia

5 Star Winery - James Halliday
"Halliday Wine Companion - Australian Winery of the Year 2022 & 2023"

Winemaker "An "All Naural" sparkling with just the right amount of fizz to tickle your palate on a warm summer day....This all-natural style of sparkling combines great freshness in a wine that is bright and satisfying. Raspberry and blood orange aromatics are complemented by a juicy acidity and lively fizz making for a perfect summer drink. It has some cloudy sediment and can get a little friendly when opening so to avoid any spillage serve it ice-cold."

5% Shiraz | 10% Sauvignon Blanc | 5% Mourvedre
Alcohol: 13%

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. Both have been making wine in Margaret River since the early 1970’s. McHenry Hohnen vineyards are 100% biodynamic. Their three unique vineyards (Burnside, Calgardup and Hazel’s) produce wines that are a reflection of the land. McHenry Hohnen focusses on crafting site-expressive wines and are known for producing some of the region's best wines.

Margaret River is one of the best-known wine regions in Australia, recognized internationally for the quality of its wines and the natural beauty of the region. Although originally renowned for its unusually refined Cabernet Sauvignon and intensely citrusy Chardonnay varieties, the region now produces Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blends and Shiraz.

Located in the south-western corner of Western Australia, it is famous for having a more 'European' wine style than its counterparts across Australia, owing to the regions temperate, coastal location which is very similar to that of Bordeaux.
