Howard Park Alingham Chardonnay

Howard Park’s winemaking philosophy is to craft elegant, age-worthy wines from our best sites in the Margaret River and Great Southern wine regions of Western Australia. Critical site selection, meticulous viticulture and detailed winemaking underline each Icon wine. In name, the Icon wines pay homage to significant members of the Burch family. Muriel Allingham was a much beloved mother & grandmother to the Burch family, remembered for her quiet strength, warmth, elegance & youthful outlook. Allingham Chardonnay is a reflection and a reminder of Muriel. This wine is made from the best blocks of Chardonnay that grow on the south facing slopes of our Allingham vineyard, in the Karridale sub-region of Margaret River. Drawing inspiration from traditional winemaking methods, the Allingham Chardonnay matures in fin grained French oak resulting in a flavoursome and complex wine, evocative of this cool southern site.

Region:

Cellaring:

Enjoy now or 5 to 7 years.

Nose:

Deeply and intensely aromatic, full of classic Chardonnay notes – citrus, fig, honeysuckle, fuzzy peach, nougat, brioche, vanilla pod and wet stone.

Palate:

The palate is a world of layers, flavours and textures - pliable and full of stone fruits, citrus, pear drop essence, nutmeal, and lemon curd. A soft chalklike texture and gentle acidity allows the flavours to build and linger. Never a wine of extremes, the Allingham Chardonnay is always nuanced and full of subtleties, surprise and harmony.
