The Rocky Road vineyard lies in the headwaters of the Chapman Brook, near Witchcliffe in the south of the Margaret River region. With a northerly aspect, the vines enjoy long days of sunshine, moderated by the vineyard's southern location. 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 |
Tropical aromas of pineapple and lychee are backed with complex dried fruits and almond meal. The palate is tight but lush with a generouse serve of blood orange and tangarine. Red citrus and mandarin flavours linger on the finish.
