McHenry Hohnen, Maragaret River, Western Australia
"A better environment gives you better wine."
Philosophy
"We aim to manage our vineyards sustainability using a range of practices that are not only ecologically sound, but also economically viable and socially responsible. All our viticultural practices nurture the biodiversity both within the soil microbiology that surrounds the vines and the insects and animals which are attracted to the healthy crops.
McHenry Hohnen's vineyards are managed using 100% biodynamic methods which are designed to improve the vitality and health of the soil.
Biodynamic is similar to organic farming in that both take place without chemicals, but biodynamic farming incorporates ideas about a vineyard as an ecosystem, and also accounting for things such as astrological influences and lunar cycles.
Tasting Notes
Immediately all the hallmarks of Margaret River Chardonnay leap from the glass; nashi pear, white peach and crushed cashews. A palate that delivers both freshness and flavour. Saline, arrowhead acidity carries an abundance of ripe stone fruit characters, whilst subtle toasted almonds linger on the finish, indicative of the large oak casks.
The Rocky Road Vineyard is in the southern part of the Margaret River region.
