2024 Howard Park Chardonnay
$69.00
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 sub-region 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.
Margaret River
TASTING NOTE
Vintage
Primary aromas of fresh grapefruit and melon are underpinned by flint and subtle oak that lend complexity and intrigue. The palate reveals a vibrant interplay of lemon curd, red apple skin and custard apple, with a touch of white grapefruit adding fine-edged tension. Prominent talc and saline mineral notes — a hallmark of our Allingham vineyard — taper to a lengthy, savoury finish. The 2024 Howard Park Chardonnay is expressive and pure, capturing the classic style of southern Margaret River in a poised, contemporary frame.
Food Match
A lovely partner to creamy rich pasta, this Chardonnay also pairs well with vegetarian Asian fare - try dashi broth with kombu and shiitake mushrooms, or tempura vegetables with tentsuyu dipping sauce.
Recommended Cellaring
Drink now or cellar for 5 to 7 years.
