Tasting Notes

The Woodgate Wines Chardonnay 2022 showcases a stunning pale gold hue. On the nose, a complex bouquet of ripe peach, melon, and citrus aromas greets you, complemented by subtle notes of vanilla and spice. The palate is generous and full, with a creamy mouthfeel balanced by fresh acidity. Flavours of ripe stone fruits and citrus zest are enriched by the oak maturation, which imparts a refined complexity and a smooth finish. The wine’s layered structure and elegant balance make it a truly remarkable Chardonnay.

Food Pairing Suggestions:

• Creamy Pastas: The rich, creamy texture of this Chardonnay makes it a perfect match for pasta dishes like fettuccine alfredo or creamy seafood pasta.
• Grilled Fish: A beautifully grilled white fish such as snapper or barramundi will highlight the wine’s crisp acidity and subtle oak influence.
• Soft Cheeses: Pair with rich, creamy cheeses like Brie or Camembert, where the wine’s soft texture complements the cheese’s richness.
• Roast Chicken: The wine’s vibrant acidity and depth of flavour work perfectly with a roasted chicken dinner, particularly with a buttery herb sauce.
• Charcuterie: A selection of delicate charcuterie, such as prosciutto and pâté, enhances the wine’s fruit character and creamy texture.

Best Serving Temp:

For optimal enjoyment, serve at 10°C – 12°C. This cooler temperature helps to highlight the wine’s vibrant fruit character while allowing the oak influence to show subtly.

Additional Information:

• Grape Variety: 100% Chardonnay
• Region: Manjimup, Western Australia
• Alcohol: 13.5% by Vol
• Oak Ageing: 9 months in French oak barrels
• Closure: Screw Cap
• Vintage: 2022
• Volume: 750ml

Decanting Suggestions:

This wine is ready to enjoy immediately but can benefit from decanting for 30 minutes to allow the aromas and flavours to open up and reveal their full complexity. This also helps soften the wine’s creamy texture, making it even more enjoyable.

Technical Terms Explained:

• Malolactic Fermentation: A natural process where sharp malic acid (found in apples) is converted into softer lactic acid, contributing to the wine’s creamy, buttery texture.
• French Oak: The wine is aged in oak barrels sourced from France, which imparts subtle flavours of vanilla, spice, and toast while adding complexity and structure to the wine.
• Acidity: A key component of wine that gives it freshness and balance. The wine’s acidity lifts its flavours and adds a crisp, clean finish.
• Citrus Zest: A flavour descriptor that refers to the fresh, tangy zest of citrus fruits, such as lemon or lime, which adds brightness and zing to the wine’s profile.

• Full-bodied: A term used to describe a wine with a rich, round mouthfeel, often due to the presence of higher alcohol and/or oak ageing. This Chardonnay is full-bodied but well-balanced, making it approachable yet complex.

I have been buying my wines from Kirk for about two years now and I have never had a bad experience or wine. I love the fact that the wines are all West Australian, so supporting local and lower carbon footprint. He delivers when it’s convenient for me and brings the wine to my door.  Wines are all good quality and well priced, especially the cleanskins. Highly recommended

I've been ordering from Partners in Wine for three years now - from the UK for my sister living in Perth. Each time they've been bang on with my order including  on time delivery. Kirk has also helped me select my wines from an extensive list.  A very pleasant and friendly company to deal with. I would highly recommend them.
