Woodlands Brook Chardonnay, Margaret River (2022)

Margaret River is the only region in the New World that genuinely worries the winemakers of Burgundy, and Woodlands is one of the reasons why. As one of the original five founding estates, they craft Chardonnay that is powerful, organic, and incredibly sophisticated.

Sourced from the cooler, south-facing slopes of the "Woodlands Brook" vineyard in the Wilyabrup Valley, this wine is a study in precision. The Watson family farms this land organically, ensuring the soil is teeming with life. This translates directly into the glass: the fruit is vibrant and intense, unmasked by synthetic chemicals.

Winemaking here is traditional and patient. Fermented with wild native yeasts and aged in French oak barrels, the wine develops a savory, nutty complexity that sits perfectly beneath the ripe orchard fruit. It is the definition of "power with elegance."

The Fulham Wine Co. Take: If you are a fan of Puligny-Montrachet but don't want to pay £100 a bottle, look to Margaret River. This has that same "struck match" flintiness and tension, but with a generous core of Australian sunshine that makes it drinkable immediately.

Tasting Notes & Character

• The Vibe: Polished, intense, and deeply satisfying.
  
  
• On the Palate: A concentrated hit of white nectarine, grapefruit, and dried pear, layered with notes of toasted cashew, brioche, and a distinct flinty minerality.
  
  
• The Style: A classic Margaret River Chardonnay - rich and textured, but held together by a spine of electric acidity.
  
  
• Real-World Pairing: The power here needs rich food. It is magnificent with roast pork with crackling, Western Australian rock lobster, or a creamy mushroom stroganoff.
