2021 Howard Park Chardonnay 1.5L Magnum
$143.00
The Howard Park Chardonnay is selected from our Allingham vineyard, located in the southern reaches of the Margaret River region between the hamlets of Witchcliffe and Karridale. This part of Margaret River is the Karridale subregion as proposed by Dr. John Gladstones. Here, the higher degree of cloud cover and prevailing southerly breezes facilitate a long, gentle ripening and the full evolution of flavour and fine structure that define the region’s finest Chardonnay.
Presented here in 1.5L magnum format which is ideal for long term ageing and the celebration of important milestones.

TASTING NOTE
Vintage
Distinct aromas of buttered popcorn add an irresistible savoury note that lies atop ripe and rich aromas of grapefruit, lemon blossom, pear, and honeydew melon. Crème brûlée, custard apples, lime curd, and caramel add a luscious layer supported by elegant oak use contributing toast and spice. Soft stone fruit and sweet citrus unfurl upon the palate with a mouth filling weightiness and persistence of flavour that is balanced with a crisp, yet subtle acidity. The interplay of texture, flavour, and acidity is guided to a drying oak driven finish with delectable toasty and nutty tones that linger along with glimmers of peach skins and cinnamon quills.
Food Match
Drink alongside smoked rainbow trout with lemon cream, or karaage chicken with pickled daikon.
Recommended Cellaring
Drink now or cellar for up to 15 years.
