Houghton was founded in 1836 by a syndicate of three British Army Officers and named after the most senior of the three-Lieutenant Colonel Richmond Houghton. Throughout its history, Houghton has built an enviable reputation shaping the Western Australian winemaking landscape. Houghton Chardonnay is a full flavoured wine displaying stone fruit and citrus flavours. The palate is long and textured with hints of hazelnut, brioche and vanilla derived from oak maturation.
