The Allingham is a selection 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. Our skilled winemaking team draw inspiration from traditional winemaking methods and give the wine ample maturation in French oak to craft a layered, flavoursome and complex wine from this cool southern site. Regions: Margaret River Vintage 2023 There is an intrinsic harmony present in the 2023 Allingham Chardonnay which reflects a synergy of season, site and variety. The aromatic notes are wonderfully classic, an amalgam of white flower and citrus blossom, fresh picked grapefruit, white peach skin and sea spray. There is an extreme precision to the entry after which layers of nuanced flavours caress the palate, with both acidity and oak effortlessly subsumed into the structure. Over the next decade this wine will reveal the entire spectrum of subtle and generous impressions of citrus, stone and orchard fruits, mineral and oceanic tones and exotic spice accents that captivate lovers of Chardonnay; joy will be found in teasing them out and admiring the ease and refinement with which they are displayed.
