The 2024 Deep Woods Reserve Chardonnay is a flagship Margaret River Chardonnay that showcases the precision, concentration and elegance for which Deep Woods Estate has become renowned. Sourced from the estate’s finest vineyard parcels, this wine reflects the outstanding quality of the vintage, combining intense fruit expression with refined winemaking. The nose is complex and layered, revealing aromas of white peach, nectarine and grapefruit alongside notes of lemon blossom, roasted cashew, flint and subtle oak spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with remarkable texture and vibrant natural acidity. Flavours of stone fruit, citrus curd and ripe pear are supported by a fine mineral backbone, while carefully judged oak maturation and lees work add depth and complexity. The wine balances richness with freshness, delivering impressive concentration without sacrificing finesse. The finish is long, focused and persistent, with lingering citrus, nutty nuances and mineral detail.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Chardonnay for customers seeking a premium Margaret River expression with both immediate appeal and excellent cellaring potential. Its combination of fruit purity, textural complexity and refined oak integration makes it a superb match for lobster, scallops, roast chicken, premium seafood dishes and creamy poultry recipes. Drinking beautifully now, it will continue to evolve gracefully over the next 8–12 years, gaining further complexity with careful cellaring.
