Howard Park Margaret River Chardonnay Western Australia
Description: Since inception in 1986, Howard Park's reputation of crafting balanced and elegant wines with uncompromising commitment and much pride and passion, has become internationally recognised. At this winery the philosophy is a premium wine can only come from excellent fruit and it is this reason that Howard Park's locations, in the heart of the Great Southern and Margaret River, were chosen. The sourcing of this fruit from specific vineyards, and in many cases specific blocks on the vineyard, is the single most important factor in the production of the Howard Park Wines. This Chardonnay combines cool-climate flavours with texture and complexity in a wine that is both delicate and subtle. The particularly careful attention paid to the wine has resulted in a brilliant, almost steely, pale straw appearance. The nose is an enticing combination of fine floral citrus with hints of peach. These aromas are supported by a richer savoury note from lees stirring, with hints of smoky, nutty barrel ferment characters providing background complexity. The wine has a seamless, refined palate with initial citrus and stone fruit flavours followed by a savoury, textural mid-palate and finishing with fine minerally grapefruit acidity and excellent French oak. (6 x 75 cl)
