Margaret River
A barrel fermented Chardonnay style with a lovely crisp acidity and a graceful soft and velvety mouthfeel. This wine may be fermented in, and matured for 10 months in French oak barrels, but this is not an overtly oaky style, it's far more subtle and elegant. The nutty, toasty flavours and tannins coming from the barrels complement and lift the stone fruit, melon and citrus flavours coming from the Chardonnay grapes themselves. It's a beautifully textured wine with layers of flavours.
Henry Road is a nod to the location of the vineyard where the Chardonnay grapes are grown, which is the Clairault Streicker vineyard in Metricup. If you travel to Clairault Streicker for a wine tasting from Abbey Farm onto Puzey Road, then you will turn into Henry Road to arrive at the entrance into their cellar door.
This wine has a creamy, medium bodied mouthfeel, so the recommendation is to pair with dishes of similar texture. Using our wine sensory garden affinity beds as inspiration, flavours pairings are orange, sage, thyme, quince, fig, melon, marjoram.
