This week we were thrilled to host our key WA-based trade partners and media for the annual Deep Woods Estate Reserve Launch Lunch, held in the newly renovated State Buildings Cellar Room at COMO The Treasury. Guests experienced a curated menu paired with both current and museum vintages from the Deep Woods Reserve collection — an exploration of how these wines evolve and gain complexity with age. Led by Chief Winemaker Julian Langworthy, the tasting journey featured our newly released 2024 Reserve Chardonnay and 2023 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, alongside rare back vintages that spoke to the pedigree and longevity of the range. The 2024 Reserve Chardonnay, ranked #1 Chardonnay in Western Australia and #7 in Australia by JamesSuckling.com Top 100 Australian Wines, shone with notes of citrus, sea spray and white peach, balanced by subtle French oak. The 2023 Reserve Cabernet displayed its trademark elegance and structure — layered with cedar, cassis and cacao, promising an exceptional future. Thank you to all who joined us for the afternoon — your continued support and enthusiasm for Deep Woods Estate make this event such a highlight each year. Both wines are now available online: https://lnkd.in/e_2UBnYa #DeepWoodsEstate #FogartyWineGroup #MargaretRiverWine #AustralianWine #COMOTheTreasury #JulianLangworthy #WineTasting #TradeLunch #WesternAustraliaWine
