Brookland Valley is committed to producing exceptional wines from the remote and beautiful Margaret River region.

The grapes for the Brookland Valley Reserve Chardonnay are selected from distinct rows within the old vine Chardonnay patch at the front of the Brookland Valley property. Low yielding Gingin clone vines, from the 1986 established Brookland Valley Estate vineyard, were selected and hand harvested to facilitate whole bunch pressing. The fruit was hand sorted by passing over a sorting table to ensure optimum quality before pressing to tank. The juice is then immediately transferred to French oak barrels for indigenous fermentation. The wine remained on yeast lees for nine months with routine battonage. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation contributes to the texture and complexity of the wine.

Bouquet: Bright fruit aromas of pink grapefruit, nectarine and nashi pear are overlaid with roasted hazelnut and oak spice. Subtle aromas of brioche, gun flint, lemon zest and nougat provide appealing complexity and interest to the nose.

Palate: A richly flavoured, full bodied wine displaying purity of fruit and intensity of flavour. A creamy texture balanced with fine natural acidity that finishes with extraordinary length of flavour.

Food Match: Best paired with ravioli with butter and burnt sage

Cellaring: Cellar carefully up to 10 years

 96 Pointsby Jane Faulkner in the James Halliday Wine Companion 2025 on 6/1/2024. "An exceptional wine that brings out the beautiful fruit within, complementing it with precision winemaking. Grapefruit, lemon and ginger spice mingle with feathery lees, toasty/smoky/stylish oak and flinty sulphides, not much just the right amount. All the flavours glide across the palate, teased along by fine acidity."
