- TASTING NOTE: "Fermented in concrete, matured for 16 months in French oak (30% new). In recent blind tastings, the McHenry Hohnen Hazel's Vineyard Chardonnay and Cabernet have both come in the top 5 on my page, among eye-watering company: Château Lafite, Château Léoville Poyferré, Chevalier-Montrachet, Les Genevrières and others. The price, when you consider the ability to stand up alongside these wines is equal to but a penny, tuppence... graphite, cassis, mulberry, briny acidity and layers of exotic spice. This is a lush superstar wine, and let me tell you: if McHenry Hohnen isn't on your radar in Margaret River, you aren't doing it right." 97 Points - Erin Larkin, Halliday Wine Companion
- ABOUT THE WINE: This parcel of fruit is sourced from a tiny, gravelly block at Hazel’s Vineyard planted in 1999. To retain berry integrity the fruit was picked and gently transferred by gravity into vertical four tonne stone fermenters with no temperature control. Extraction was soft and fermentation carried out by the native yeast specific of this vineyard. After three weeks on skins the wine was softly pressed to French oak barriques, 40% of which were new. The wine was then matured in our cool underground cellars for 16 months before being racked and bottled after a coarse filtration.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: "We aim to manage our vineyards sustainability using a range of practices that are not only ecologically sound, but also economically viable and socially responsible. All our viticultural practices nurture the biodiversity both within the soil microbiology that surrounds the vines and the insects and animals which are attracted to the healthy crops. McHenry Hohnen's vineyards are managed using 100% biodynamic methods which are designed to improve the vitality and health of the soil." McHenry Hohnen
