What it tastes like
On the nose hints of honey dew, white peach and pear are surrounded by lemon curd, bread dough and fresh straw. The complexities of limestone dust, fresh spring grass and chamomile add the typical savoury, flinty, wild component. Palate is immediately crisp, with bright acidity and a fresh plump fruit line. It has an appealing chalky mouthfeel with a wonderful dry finish. A nutmeg custard and pear perfume remains. Super structured Chardonnay.

Where it's from
Margaret River
Australia
A beautiful stretch of Western Australian coast, cooled by the Indian Ocean. Margaret River built its name on elegant, structured Cabernet Sauvignon and fine, complex Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc-Semillon blends are a local speciality. Small region, big reputation, and a surf scene to match.

More from Vasse Felix →The story behind it
Established in 1967 by regional pioneer Dr Tom Cullity, Vasse Felix is Margaret River's founding wine estate. One of the great wine regions of the world, Margaret River enjoys a truly unique environment and climate which makes it a paradise for winemakers and wine lovers alike. From the first plantings, right up to the modern day, we have always strived to explore and express the very best of the Margaret River region at Vasse Felix. There are many things that make Vasse Felix the special place it is: the incredible environment and climate of Margaret River, Family ownership, Treasured heritage, and Priceless vineyards. But above all, it's the dedication of their entire team to continue Dr Cullity's original aim for Vasse Felix: "to make the best possible wine". With high natural acidity present in the majority of fruit parcels, malolactic fermentation was allowed to complete. 67% of the sections were hand-harvested, gently whole-bunch pressed and transferred to French oak barriques as unclarified juice for wild fermentation. The remaining 33% was Selectiv harvested (to embrace some skin maceration), direct pressed and racked to barrel with high solids juice for wild fermentation. Each parcel was left on lees in barrel for 10 months of maturation and an additional 7 months in tank after blending, with regular battonage. The premier Chardonnay sections were a mix of 78% Gingin clone and 22% Bernard clones 95, 96 and 76. The majority of the fruit was grown at our Wilyabrup and Boodjidup vineyards with a small portion from our Karridale vineyard.
