Red Blend

A medium bodied wine bursting with juicy blackberries, cassis, prunes and ripe Damson plums. There is layer of warm mocha spice from oak ageing and soft, firm tannins add a savoury finish and characteristic regional structure.  

White Blend

White

Intense, juicy lemon pith bursts onto the palate alongside fresh green herbs. A crunchy acidity provides balance and freshness, highlighting the grassy, tropical and citrus flavours on the finish.

Margaret River’s other great white grape variety. Sourced from the Yallingup hills, Deep Woods heartland. Lovely natural acidity, huge complexity, a very versatile wine. Julian Langworthy, Chief Winemaker

A very expressive and fragrant bouquet sets the hares running for this intense wine sourced from the self-described jewel in Deep Woods' crown. This is a super-elegant and pure expression of cabernet with a virtually indefinite future. Halliday Wine Companion 2020

Rosé

This Rosé continues a run of excellent vintages, combining great freshness and lightness in a wine that is still complex and satisfying. Julian Langworthy, Chief Winemaker

Expressive flavours of lime curd, grapefruit and passionfruit with a herbaceous finish. Pristine acidity provides freshness and the barrel-ferment proportion adds texture and refinement.

The palate is finely textured and generous, with intense cassis and dark berry flavours enlivened by a hint of salted liquorice and black olive complexity. Silken, perfectly ripe tannins intertwine with an intense array of complex fruit and spice creating a wine of seemingly effortless beauty and length. 

The Reserve Chardonnay marks one of the most successful and contemporary wine styles we have to offer. It is structured and powerful yet beguiling and sophisticated. 

The Hillside Chardonnay focuses on a selection of some of the coolest sites in the Margaret River region producing a wine with great varietal character while maintaining excellent vibrancy and freshness of acidity.

This release was awarded equal best Cabernet in the world by Decanter 2022. It is an epic expression of Margaret River Cabernet. It is a wine for the cellar if you can wait, effortless in every way, a cassis flavoured dream. 

The Reserve Shiraz comes almost entirely from our old vine central Wilyabrup vineyard, planted in 1972. A wine of great poise, power, yet fine detail. 

Awarded 'The Best Rosé' by Ray Jordan in 2021, this is a bright, aromatic and lifted Rosé - a Deep Woods benchmark. 

This is one of the best wines that Deep Woods Estate makes. It's the one that I cellar for special occasions and also drink on a Tuesday with pizza. - Julian Langworthy, Chief Winemaker

Wild natural yeasts, time on lees and a decent lick of oak all contribute to a wine of complexity and richness. Cracking good value. - Ray Jordan 2021

This wine brims with a zippy acidity, sweet citrus fruits and herbaceous, grassy notes. This a refreshing wine with a long saline finish.

It’s the real deal – a wine with layer upon layer of red and black fruits and serious tannins, and then given that time in French oak. - James Halliday

This is a silky wine with vibrant, linear acidity. Powerful citrus fruits and apricot pip combine with Tahitian lime and savoury oak-driven complexities, to create an elegant, beautifully poised wine with a long, lean finish.
