The 2025 McHenry Hohnen Laterite Hills Chardonnay is a vibrant Margaret River Chardonnay that captures the freshness and purity of the region's coastal vineyards. The nose is bright and inviting, offering aromas of white peach, ripe citrus and green apple, complemented by subtle notes of lemon blossom, gentle oak spice and a touch of flinty minerality.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with lively acidity and a silky texture, delivering flavours of nectarine, grapefruit and crisp orchard fruit layered with delicate oak and mineral complexity. The finish is clean, balanced and refreshing, showcasing the wine's precision and elegant fruit profile. Enjoyable on release, it also has the structure to evolve gracefully over the next 4–7 years.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy fresh, modern Australian Chardonnay with balance, finesse and regional character. Perfect with grilled prawns, seared scallops, roast chicken or creamy seafood pasta. Best served lightly chilled and enjoyed over the next 4–7 years.
