Established in 1973 by David and Heather Watson, Woodlands Wines is one of the pioneer estates of Western Australia’s Margaret River region. Located in the acclaimed Wilyabrup sub-region, this family-owned and operated producer is renowned for its organic, dry-grown viticulture and classic Bordeaux-inspired winemaking.
The 2024 Woodlands Wilyabrup Chardonnay is a fresh and vibrant Margaret River Chardonnay, opening with crisp orchard fruits before revealing layers of apricot and melon, some phenolic grip adds texture and depth to the middle palate. A long mineral finish brings finesse and balance. A Chardonnay of purity, concentration, and energy, this is an excellent vintage of our Wilyabrup Valley Chardonnay.
"This is a precise and pure expression of Margaret River chardonnay. Light-bodied with fine chalkiness, it’s complemented by crisp acidity that drives through a long palate. Floral notes lift the nose with lemon curd and subtle roasted cashew. The palate is linear, and the fruit has easily managed nine months in oak. Fermented without additions, it delivers a pure, pristine expression of the variety. 92 Points"- Ray Jordan, rayjordanwine.com.au
