Calgardup Brook Vineyard Chardonnay
| The vineyard lies on the south side of the Calgardup Brook which is a westerly flowing stream just south of Witchcliffe. With a gentle northerly aspect and the westerly influence this is a very good vineyard. Vineyard management takes a back to basics approach at McHenry Hohnen embracing sustainable 'Old School' practices that were used before the rise of intense agriculture. | |

| Tasting note |
This wine shows edges of fruit tingle, brioche, restrained vanilla, and ginger with some mealy notes. The linear palate is supported by a lemon and lime backbone. White nectarine gives fresh punchy flesh and weight while white peach fruits fill the veins. Nuances of barley sugar, fig and nectarine make for a seductive glass full. Lively and racy.

James Halliday's Australian Wine CompanionLight straw-green; a restrained exercise in the winery results in a wine with great elegance and breed, white peach, melon and cashew in a seamless flow across the palate and through to the finish; this is a fruit, not oak, driven wine. 94 Points Glasgow Sunday Herald, Pete Stewart, 25th May 2014'David Hohnen is the wine-making legend whot set up Cape Mentelle and Cloudy Bay..., working on the family estate and making an amazing range of tasty wines. My favourite is the chardonnay which has lovely burgundian characteristics as well as a good honest Australian heart.' |
