- TASTING NOTE: Flinty and complex, this wine is a charming expression of Southern Margaret River Chardonnay. On the nose, delicate notes of kaffir lime, grilled peach, and zesty ginger leap from the glass, complemented by complex, wild-ferment elements of struck match and nougat. The palate is powerful yet crystalline and defined by a mealy texture, talky phenolics and that long, savoury acid line Southern Margaret River is renowned for. This Chardonnay reflects its place and season, paying homage to our farming and winemaking philosophy. McHenry Hohnen
- ABOUT THE WINE: Farmed with the same philosophy and made in the same way as our flagship Chardonnay range. Sourced from a selection of premium sites across southern Margaret River, including our own estate vineyards—Calgardup Brook, Hazel’s, and Burnside—as well as trusted regional growers. All fruit was hand-picked and whole bunch pressed before undergoing wild yeast fermentation with full solids in French oak barriques and puncheons (25% new). Barrels were sulphured shortly after primary fermentation was completed, with no malo-lactic fermentation to retain natural acidity. Laterite Hills Chardonnay matured for 10 months in barrels before being bottled in January 2025. McHenry Hohnen
