Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"The quintessential Margaret River Chardonnay, made from a selection of Vasse Felix’s premier plots of powerful Chardonnay. Made in the modern Margaret River style of elegance, power and restraint, with the wild complexity which distinguishes Vasse Felix Chardonnay.
A lovely waxy, green tea candle note lifts in the subtle white peach, pear and green plum perfume, accompanied by complex f loral aromas of Jasmine and camomile and sexy hints of rock f lint and vanilla bean. More savoury complexity will develop with time in the bottle. A lovely rich core framed by a delicate dry structure. The satin palate features complex flavours of purified lemon, a hint of ginger, custard and delicate peach, and finishes with a lovely dry, chalky feel.
French oak barrique 44% new, 56% 1-3 year old (includes 26% 1 year old Mercurey) 14 months; 8 months in oak, 6 months blended in tank."
94/100 Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, March 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"This is pretty gorgeous. It has the flavour and it has the length but really, simply, it drinks beautifully. It tastes of grapefruit and juicy citrus, it’s textural and cutting at once, it brings brings the velve and it lingers. It’s kempt and polished and all those things but within that context, it feels free and pure. Vasse Felix chardonnay is really humming at the moment."
