Howard Park Allingham Chardonnay 2024

Earns a place at Margaret River’s Chardonnay top table such is the complexity and utterly undeniable beauty it brings to the glass. Offers a sunny, sea spray, beachy scent – textbook Margs gin gin clone – entwined with ripe stone fruits, just-cut white peach, citrus, biscuit spice, nougat and grilled cashew. The palate is brightly lit in summery fruits and then builds in depth and concentration and keeps building, introducing nutty, nougat notes with vanillin oak – so smart -in play. Runs smoothly, runs long, well-structured with acidity kicking in through the finish, clean and efficient. Lots to look forward to as it progresses over the years.
