McHenry Hohnen Laterite Hills chardonnay 2024

This is a wine that, in the last few years, has lifted into another zone, and in this vintage it's showing real intensity of fruit, combined with fine, precise focus and remarkable length. It's a delicately framed chardonnay with a fine chalky character that threads through lemony grapefruit and light melon notes. The palate is fine, precise, and sustained, with quite remarkable intensity. A very good wine for less than $50.
