2024 Howard Park Margaret River Chardonnay 6 Pack

Ray Jordan

These chardonnays are moving into a more elegant and refined expression of this variety and region. It was barrel fermented with wild yeast, creating a wine of minerally complexity. On the nose, there’s the fairly typical combination of lemon, light-cut lime, and citrus, with a muted backdrop of lemon curd and cashew. The palate is almost delicate, yet it releases powerfully through to a very long finish. It’s a classically defined and presented young chardonnay that offers both flavour intensity and that linear palate feel you’re looking for.

Generous, fruit-driven aromas of lemon peel, flint, grapefruit zest, oyster shell and oak spices. The palate is textural and mineral with bright acidity and a nice long line of freshness. There’s a lovely touch of reduction behind the concentrated fruit, courtesy of the sun-kissed vintage.

Angus Hughson - Vinous

The 2024 Howard Park Chardonnay is open-knit and expressive, showing pineapple core and white peach aromas lifted by a touch of smoky flint. Fruit salad flavors follow, with a compact shape and chalky acidity that opens to a silky finish. A crowd pleaser sure to have many fans.
