VASSE FELIX Heytesbury Chardonnay, Margaret River 2023 Bottle
About this wine
The Vasse Felix flagship chardonnay is made from the most striking parcels available each vintage. It is a Margaret River chardonnay icon. Selected batches are kept separate through the winemaking and maturation process, which involves natural fermentation with solids inclusion. These yeast lees are stirred regularly during the nine months the wine spends in French oak, about 50:50 new and second or third use. Importantly, with bright, natural acidity a priority, the wine is not put through malolactic fermentation. As James Halliday said (2009): ‘The mouthfeel and balance are flawless, supple yet focused, all the ingredients – fruit, oak, acidity – in perfect harmony and balance’.

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).
