Willow Bridge Estate 'Dragonfly' Chardonnay 2023
Vintage Character
Willow Bridge Estate ‘Dragonfly’ Chardonnay 2023 comes from Geographe in Western Australia, a regional GI shaped by a warm Mediterranean climate tempered by Indian Ocean breezes. The 2023 vintage produced a bright, energetic style, with the season’s moderate conditions helping preserve freshness and definition in the fruit. Sourced from the Ferguson Valley area on the western slopes of the Darling Scarp, the wine reflects an elevated maritime setting that supports even ripening and a balance of generosity and acidity.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
In the glass, this Chardonnay shows vivid aromas of white peach, nectarine and lemon zest, layered with green apple, white blossom and a faint mineral note. The palate is medium-bodied and dry, combining juicy stone-fruit flavours with citrus drive, gentle creaminess and a touch of toasted cashew from lees work, before finishing clean, supple and refreshing. It pairs well with grilled barramundi with lemon butter, roast chicken, or prawn risotto.
Winery Background
Willow Bridge Estate is a family-owned producer established in 1996 by Jeff and Vicki Dewar in the Ferguson Valley, and it has become one of Geographe’s best-known names. The estate is recognised as a Halliday 5-Star Winery and is known for expressing regional character through estate-grown fruit. Its approach emphasises purity, balance and texture, with careful fruit handling, cool fermentation and lees contact used to build complexity while retaining brightness. That combination of maritime site, reliable house style and strong regional identity makes the Dragonfly range an appealing introduction to modern Western Australian Chardonnay.
