two trophies for our reserve chardonnay at the royal queensland wine awards
We are over the moon that our 2023 Reserve Chardonnay was awarded two trophies for Best Chardonnay and Best White Wine at the Royal Queensland Wine Awards last night.
Speaking on this epic result, Senior Winemaker Matt Buchan said: “The announcement of these two trophies is something the entire team at Deep Woods can be excited about. These awards hold significant value to us as the judging panel have recognised the precision and detail of our reserve Chardonnay and the pedigree of fruit from which it was made. We are proud to stand up as a successful Margaret River producer at the Royal Queensland Wine Awards and are looking forward to the release of this great vintage later in the year.”
Celebrating its 144th year, the Royal Queensland Wine Awards stands as a premier platform for winemakers across Australia. As the inaugural wine show on the national calendar, this event sets the benchmark for the new season's vintage evaluation, honouring the rich traditions of excellence in winemaking and viticulture.
Chief Winemaker Julian Langworthy thinks that the 2023 vintage is "the best release ever" and said: "I think the 2023 Reserve Chardonnay is the best Reserve Chardy ever. 2023 also marks the 11th release of this modern style of our Reserve Chardonnay, which is pretty cool. 2023 was an effortless vintage in Margaret River – not too hot, not too cold, everything was just right, and our Reserve Chardonnay blocks really excelled. This wine has a beautiful purity and lift with sea breeze and funk on the nose, and it's got the most crystalline, tense, long palate you've ever seen. The Reserve Chardonnay wines are really quite balanced in their youth, but they will reward ageing like you would not believe. I'm so excited about this release and I'll be getting lots and lots for my cellar – if it doesn't sell out first!"
A huge congratulations to our winemaking and viticultural teams!
