Deep Woods 2020 Estate Chardonnay
2020 estate chardonnay
colour
Pale straw with flashes of green.
aroma
Bright notes of peach and nectarine balanced by layers of flint and struck match.
palate
A wine with tremendous depth of ripe stone fruit flavours and vibrant natural acidity. A hint of oak-driven character adds length and structure.
cellaring
This wine may be enjoyed on release but will find further complexity over three to six years from vintage.
vintage
The 2020 vintage featured a growing season with a warm, dry summer providing the perfect conditions for hallmark flavour intensity. Cool evenings ensured fruit retained natural acidity, producing wines that are expressive and beautifully balanced.
winemaking
Select parcels of chardonnay from across the Margaret River region are sourced for this delightfully complex yet eminently drinkable wine. The wine is partially barrel fermented and matures in French oak around 10% new for 6-8 months depending on the parcel. The wine is then simply finned, filtered and bottled ready for release.
