Refined and delicately ethereal, the floral notes of honeysuckle, citrus blossom and boronia mesh with vanilla pod spice and cardamom. The palate is a supple and pliable, full of stone fruits, citrus, pear drop essence, nutmeal, nougat and lemon curd.

Howard Park Allingham Chardonnay
Howard Park’s winemaking philosophy is to craft elegant, age-worthy wines from our best sites in the Margaret River and Great Southern wine regions of Western Australia. Critical site selection, meticulous viticulture and detailed winemaking underline each Icon wine. In name, the Icon wines pay homage to significant members of the Burch family. Muriel Allingham was a much beloved mother & grandmother to the Burch family, remembered for her quiet strength, warmth, elegance & youthful outlook.
Allingham Chardonnay is a reflection and a reminder of Muriel. This wine is made from the best blocks of Chardonnay that grow on the south facing slopes of our Allingham vineyard, in the Karridale sub-region of Margaret River. Drawing inspiration from traditional winemaking methods, the Allingham Chardonnay matures in fin grained French oak resulting in a flavoursome and complex wine, evocative of this cool southern site.
TASTING NOTES
Refined and delicately ethereal, the floral notes of honeysuckle, citrus blossom and boronia mesh with vanilla pod spice and cardamom. The palate is a supple and pliable, full of stone fruits, citrus, pear drop essence, nutmeal, nougat and lemon curd. The acidity is limey in the sense of both chalk and citrus which gives the palate tautness, definition and a fine balance. Never a wine of extremes, the Allingham Chardonnay is nuanced and full of subtleties and harmony.
