2020 Deep Woods Estate Reserve Chardonnay

Other Reviews....
Hand picked; whole-bunch pressed; fermented in new and used French oak with lees stirring. To say the wine is elegant does it no justice. It's way more than that; line, length and balance likewise. This is a barrel-by-barrel selection from a large number, ex a specific vineyard source. White peach and pink grapefruit play off against each other, oak a means to an end. Drink by 2042.

Margaret River chardonnay at its rich, piercing and powerful best here. This has such breathtaking fruit intensity with yellow-citrus, peach and green-mango fruit all intertwined and laced up with toasty oak, gun flint and spiced cream. Ripe citrus fruit and peaches explode in the mouth and wash waves of creamy, ripe fruit flesh deep through the finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

The 2020 Reserve Chardonnay is toasty, complex and downright delicious. There is funk and poise alongside each other—like wearing Chanel to a music festival. In the mouth, it is pulsating with juicy acidity that is a counterpoint to the rich and textural fruit. All in all, the 2020 Reserve Chardonnay is pretty thrilling to drink, especially when one considers the extremely reasonable price point. Drink 2022 - 2029.

I think this is a mix of Wilyabrup, Karridale and Walcliffe grapes, though information is kind of scant. Maybe I misplaced the release notes?
Matchstick, guava and grilled lime, kaffir lime and cinnamon, sourdough and peach. It’s juicy, some Parmesan rind savoury things in with star fruit, a smoky and toasty overlay, intensity of flavour, with a dusty and chalky texture, a bold style, but keeps itself trim with mouth-watering acidity, and a long savoury finish. Kind of lactic and overt, and a bit grassy too, in a way, but carries it off with a sort of Travis Bickle attitude. You talkin’ to me? OK! Drink 2021 - 2024+

Heavy bottle. Very smoky, reductive. Caper brine and rock pools and sweet melon and green fig and struck flint. Pickled jalapeño. Hazelnuts rolled in bitter-lime swirled through with butterscotch. At the moment, this wine is like looking at the shards of a kintsugi bowl. Not quite come together yet. And it's under screwcap so it might take a while. Ambitious. But I'd give it another couple of years at least. Drink 2023 – 2030.
