The name does not mislead. "Crofter", literally the farmer, does not refer to the humble origins of this wine. Far from it. This Chardonnay, in fact, celebrates the vision of the founder of the Houghton winery, capable of giving life to one of the most surprising wineries in the Margaret River area, in Western Australia. It is, in fact, an important wine, the result of a careful processing. It starts with a nighttime harvest, when the heat loosens its grip a bit, and then continues with fermentation in barriques, with indigenous yeasts. In order to add creaminess and softness to the final result, moreover, after fermentation the wine is left in contact with its fine lees for a long time, kept in movement thanks to frequent batonnage or stirring. The result is a complex and articulated Chardonnay, with notes ranging from citrus to dried fig. Then roasted hazelnuts, malt, brioche and dairy. In the mouth, a subtle mineral character adds complexity to the aromas. The finish is particularly persistent.
Founded in 1836, Houghton is part of Western Australia's history. Its colourful history includes adventures of Scottish pioneers, bandits but most importantly generations of pure wine craftsmanship. Houghton caught the attention of the nation in 1937 when winemaker Jack Mann created Houghton White Burgundy, on declared French inspiration. Today, the winery has about 50 hectares of vineyards in the prestigious Swan Valley region. It produces Verdelho, Chardonnay, Sèmillon and also Chenin Blanc.
