About this wine
Vasse Felix Cabernet Sauvignon, Margaret River
Virginia has added Malbec and Petit Verdot to the wine to this classic Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon. The Malbec lifts the Cabernet while the Petit Verdot adds a botanical fragrance to the wine, all creating layers of complexity.
The fruit comes from small parcels close to the temperature regulating coast in the northern end of Margaret River. The soils are gravelly and well drained, and the vines work hard through the long ripening period to produce pure, varietal wines.

Vasse Felix was the first commercial vineyard and winery to be established in Margaret River. The name is derived from Vasse (a French seaman who drowned last century while exploring the coastline on the ship Geographe under Captain Freycinet) and the French term for luck. Under the ownership of the Holmes a Court family Vasse Felix has carved an excellent reputation for its superbly made wines. The plush, intensely-flavoured and chocolaty Vasse Felix Heytesbury Cabernet Blend – a limited-release, best-of-vintage ‘Grand Vin’ – is a beacon of quality that is included in the Langton’s Classification. The Vasse Felix Cabernet Sauvignon, also Langton's-Classified, captures regional rather than site-specific characters. Of equal reputation are the exemplary Chardonnays, both the 'standard' Vasse Felix and the flagship Heytesbury. The Shiraz is also excellent. The entry-level Filius range -- a Chardonnay and a Cabernet-Merlot -- offers exceptional quality and value, as do the even more affordable 'ground-floor' duo of Classic Dry White (Semillon-Sauvignon) and Classic Dry Red (Shiraz-Cabernet).
