My last bottle of 2015 Woodlands Chloe. Quite restrained - very well made. Everything in balance at 9 years of age. Last bottle we had was in early 2023 - matched with the 2015 Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay and some tasters preferred the 2015 Chloe. White peach. Not too lean, not too full bodied - perfect balance - a “goldilocks” Margaret River Chardonnay. Woodlands is better known for its stellar Cabernet and Cabernet blends but also makes this fine Chardonnay.

Nov 12th, 2024“Chloe “ is Woodland’s best Chardonnay Cuvée. Pale to mid lemon in colour. The initially muted nose (a bit cold from the fridge) doesn’t prepare you for the intensity on the palate. Peach and nectarine, buttery vanilla French oak with enough natural acid to stop it being flabby and cloying. An excellent Margaret River Chardonnay with the right amount of age.
