Woodlands’ Brook Vineyard Chardonnay 2023 is a tightly focused Margaret River expression from the family’s close-planted Brook site in Wilyabrup—built for purity, texture and quiet power rather than overt sweetness. Under the steady hand of Stuart Watson (Woodlands’ long-time winemaking custodian), it balances floral stone fruit and citrus lift with barrel-ferment complexity, finishing with the kind of natural drive that rewards both the table and the cellar.
