[SOLD-OUT] McHenry Hohnen Burnside Chardonnay 2019

 

“All 3 single-vineyard Chardonnays are made in the same manner: hand-picked, wholebunch pressed, wild ferment in barrel (25% new) with full solids, partial MLF. From the oldest vines (planted 1981) the Burnside is the smoothest, most cohesive, most consistent of McHenry Hohnen's 3 single-vineyard chardonnays. This consistency on the palate breeds richness somehow, with MLF building density and resonance.” - Erin Larkin, Wine Companion

 

“Layered aromas of struck-match, grapefruit pith, bacon fat, grilled nuts and white flowers—complex gear. Powerful and focused flavours: there's white peach, grapefruit, honeydew melon and spice. The oak frames the wine nicely and the acidity and phenolics bring structure, savouriness and cut to the palate.” - Aaron Brasher, The Real Review

 

“Bright shimmering pale gold in colour this is an impressively powerful Margaret River Chardonnay but also at the same time highly complex. It instantly launches into nectarine and citrus aromas underpinned by a delicious array of savoury praline, spice and oatmeal barrel ferment beautifully supported by well balanced, high quality oak – it is a complete package. It’s then dry, plush and full-flavoured with a lovely creamines to the texture but also well supported by a fine acid line. Wave after wave of flavour and vanillin/caramel oak before proceeding through to a long, mouthfilling finish. Almost decadent but also refined and delicious.” - Angus Hughson, Wine Pilot
