Woody Nook Chardonnay 2025

Tasting Notes

The 2025 Oaked Chardonnay presents a pale gold hue, reflecting its barrel maturation. The nose is a beautiful blend of fresh apple, sweet melon, and a hint of toasted oak, which adds an inviting complexity to the bouquet.

On the palate, the wine offers a harmonious balance of melon and stone fruit, with a creamy mouthfeel that comes from full malolactic fermentation. The fresh green apple acidity provides a crisp, refreshing finish, while the subtle oak notes lend a touch of warmth and depth. The wine’s well-structured profile ensures its potential for medium-term cellaring, where it will continue to develop.

Food Pairing

• Seafood: A fantastic match for creamy seafood dishes like lobster or crab.
• Poultry: Pairs beautifully with roasted chicken in herb and lemon sauce.
• Cheese: Complements rich cheeses like Brie, Camembert, or a cream cheese.
• Pasta: Perfect alongside a creamy mushroom risotto or pasta with a delicate cream-based sauce.

Best Serving Temp

Serve the 2021 Oaked Chardonnay at 10°C to 12°C to enhance its balance of fruit, oak, and acidity.

• If stored at room temperature (22°C): Place the bottle in the fridge for 45-60 minutes before serving to bring it to the ideal temperature.
• If stored in the fridge (5°C): Remove the bottle about 15 minutes before serving to allow it to warm slightly to the perfect drinking temperature.

Technical Terms Explained

• French Oak: A type of oak used in winemaking to age the wine. It imparts subtle flavours of vanilla, spice, and toast, adding complexity.
• Malolactic Fermentation: A secondary fermentation where harsh malic acid (found in green apples) is converted into softer lactic acid, resulting in a creamier texture.
• Lees Stirring: The process of periodically stirring the lees (dead yeast cells) during maturation to add richness and mouthfeel to the wine.
• Screwcap: A closure used to seal bottles, offering a secure seal and ensuring consistent wine quality, especially for wines meant for aging.

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.
