Opens with pretty fruit fragrances of peach blossom, mandarin pith and lemon sorbet notes. Underpinned by hints of apple pie crust, lemongrass and lightly spicy sandalwood. With time, these notes will develop more beautiful savoury complexities.An incredibly fresh entry with a juicy and soft palate fills the mouth, then morphs into a light, dry flowing finish. Beautifully balanced floral, green apple and firm nectarine notes mingle with traces of lemon sorbet and granita biscuits.
Crafted from selected sites and clones producing lighter bodied and elegantly weighted Chardonnay fruit. Each parcel was handled with respect to the unique qualities imbued by the vineyard with natural fermentation, varying solids levels, judicious use of oak and batch specific battonage. For the first time crafting this wine we incorporated three new, large format French oak foudres for maturation in combination with French oak barriques. The foudres allowed for great preservation of fruit and some unique development characters. Following seven months maturation the individual parcels were seamlessly blended. The selected fruit parcels and the winemaking approach combine to produce a wine of harmony and finesse with balance, complexity and a clean, bright palate. The result is a typical Vasse Felix varietal Margaret River Chardonnay.
Jane Faulkner Halliday Wine Companion
"It’s a cuddly wine, rich with stone fruit and candied pear, ginger spice and woodsy spices, with a lick of cedary, sweet oak. It’s textural, appealing and uncomplicated."
