vintage
Adequate winter rainfall in 2024 replenished vineyard dams and soil moisture as the region headed toward budburst.
Moderate temperatures followed throughout spring ensuing healthy vine canopies with little disease pressure. This was followed by dry and warm conditions into summer while white varietals were picked. Netting was a challenge due to a lack in regional marri blossom thus keeping birds out of the vineyard proved to add additional work for viticulturalists.
The 2025 vintage again displays Margaret Rivers incredible consistency with wines of balance and seamless natural acidity and fruitfulness.
winemaking
The estate Chardonnay encompasses Margaret Rivers vast ability to create some of Australia’s best wines from the legendary Gin Gin clone.
From a selection of northern and southern vineyards this wine was fermented in a combination of seasoned and new oak barrels, using only indigenous yeasts for wild fermentation. With minimal fining and no acid additions, this Chardonnay showcases Deep Woods’ dedication to site selection and pure varietal expression.
