Woodlands Wilyabrup Valley Chardonnay 2024
Crafted by the pioneering Woodlands Wines family in Wilyabrup, Margaret River, the Wilyabrup Valley Chardonnay 2024 showcases the elegance, purity and regional character that have defined the estate since David Watson and Heather Watson established the vineyard in 1973. Today, under the stewardship of Stuart Watson and Andrew Watson, Woodlands continues to produce benchmark Margaret River wines from its certified organic vineyards.
Sourced exclusively from premium vineyards within the renowned Wilyabrup Valley, this Chardonnay combines sophistication with restrained power. Fermented entirely in barrel with no additions during fermentation, the wine is crafted to express both site and variety with clarity and precision.
Bright and youthful in appearance, with a colour between pale gold and straw, the wine opens with lifted floral aromatics. Honeysuckle, white peach and nectarine lead the bouquet, while subtle struck-match complexity, toasted brioche and fine oak notes provide additional depth and intrigue. On the palate, vibrant stone fruit and citrus flavours are supported by texture, minerality and beautifully integrated oak, creating a Chardonnay that is both refined and expressive.
