This wine exhibits lush nectarine, grapefruit and white peach characters. A hint of warm vanilla spice from oak ageing frames the nose.

The palate is clean and lively with tremendous depth of ripe stone-fruit flavour nuanced by toasty almond-meal notes. Bright citrus acidity and orange peel providing length and vibrancy to the finish.
cellaring
This wine may be enjoyed on release but will find further complexity three to four years from vintage.

vintage
The 2021 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
The Hillside Chardonnay focuses on a selection of some of the coolest sites in the Margaret River region producing a wine with great varietal character while maintaining excellent vibrancy and freshness of acidity.
This wine was fermented in a combination of seasoned and new oak barrels, using only indigenous yeasts for a wild fermentation. With no fining or acid additions, this Chardonnay showcases Deep Woods’ dedication to site selection and pure varietal expression.
