Willow Bridge G1-10 Geographe Chardonnay 2023

Jeff and Vicky Dewar established Willow Bridge Estate after acquiring a spectacular 180ha hillside property in the Ferguson Valley, a sub region of Geographe. Under winemaker Kim Horton, many of its wines offer exceptional value for money. James Halliday rated their beautiful winery among his ‘Best Wineries of 2014’ and ‘Dark Horse Wineries of 2013’ Their G1-10 Chardonnay is full flavoured, complex and textural, yet still lively and refreshing with refined tight grain french oak offering backbone support. "A highly expressive chardonnay from this outstanding vintage. The aroma immediately makes a statement with its intense notes of struck match, lemon curd and a subtle savoury character. The palate has plenty of punch. The fruit was handpicked, whole bunch pressed to new and one-year-old French oak. There is a driving intensity about the palate which extends easily to a very long savoury finish. A fine chalky acidity contributes to its distinctly linear mouth feel. 95pts" (Ray Jordan Wine Guide).
