McHenry Hohnen
2017
Burnside Chardonnay
Margaret River, AU
Benchmark notes of cashew and roasted almonds. Aromas of pink grapefruit, melon and nectarine give way to nuances of Jasmine tea and natural ferment complexity. The palate combines power and grace with light brioche dough and lemon curd framed by a core of creamy acidity and an oyster shell-like minerality.
Pairing: Fresh Oysters, fish, seafood, soft cheeses
