Houghton Margaret River Chardonnay

The Margaret River in Western Australia is world renowned for producing kick arse Chardonnay that’s often benchmarked against Burgundy in France. It’s fair to say most come with a hefty price tag so we were pretty wrapped to find a well priced take on the classic Houghton Margaret River Chardonnay.

Houghton are one of Australia’s oldest producers, recently notching up their 175th birthday. As well as being a hell of a lot of candles to blow out it’s also a long time in the wine game, a lot of grapes crushed and plenty of time getting to know what style this region can produce when it comes to Chardonnay.

In this case we’re talking a lightly oaked, soft, creamy, citrusy style. So refreshing, easy to enjoy with or without food – it’s a prime example of why Chardy is making a comeback! Pair it up with white meats, fish, seafood and creamy cheeses.
