The 2025 Deep Woods Estate Chardonnay is a polished Margaret River Chardonnay that showcases the region’s reputation for producing wines of purity, balance and finesse. Sourced from premium vineyard sites, this Chardonnay combines ripe fruit concentration with bright natural acidity, creating a style that is both approachable and refined. The nose is expressive and layered, revealing aromas of white peach, nectarine and grapefruit, alongside subtle notes of roasted cashew, citrus blossom and gentle oak spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a smooth, finely textured mouthfeel. Flavours of stone fruit, lemon curd and crisp apple are supported by vibrant acidity and a subtle mineral backbone that provides freshness and structure. Carefully integrated oak contributes hints of toasted nuts and complexity without overshadowing the fruit, leading to a long, balanced finish with lingering citrus and savoury notes.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy modern Australian Chardonnay with freshness, texture and restraint. Its combination of bright fruit, subtle oak influence and vibrant acidity makes it a natural match for grilled lobster, seared scallops, roast chicken, creamy seafood pasta and soft-ripened cheeses. Drinking beautifully now, it will continue to develop additional complexity over the next 4–7 years.
