Description

Deep Woods has built a strong reputation for Margaret River Chardonnay that’s as polished as it is affordable, and the 2024 shows why. It’s sourced from select sites across the region, with the majority being the prized Gin Gin clone — known for its small berries, intense flavour, and natural acid.

The fruit was whole-bunch pressed and wild fermented in French oak, with a portion new, then left on lees to build texture and complexity. The style is modern Margaret River — citrus and white stone fruit at its core, gentle oak spice in support, and a clean acid line holding it all together. There’s weight and detail here, but it never tips into heaviness.

For the price, it’s a standout — offering the kind of balance and finesse you’d expect from wines well above its bracket.

92 points - "Lifted aromas of grapefruit pith, white flowers, just-ripe white stone fruit, melon rind and nuts. Pithy, punchy and with lovely drive and power. Full of citrus, nectarine and tangy acidity, along with integrated oak and a drying lick of phenolics on the finish. Long, layered and sophisticated gear." - Aaron Brasher (The Real Review)

91 points - "It’s fresh, textural and inviting, not complex but a good drink. Yellow peaches, fresh pineapple and some lemon, too. It's spicy and has just enough creamy lees to add depth with a light layering of oak bolstering the palate and flavour profile. Excellent go-to chardonnay." - Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)
