Tasting Notes:

Pale straw with a green and golden tinge. A lovely waxy, green tea candle note lifts in the subtle white peach, pear and green plum perfume, accompanied by complex floral aromas of Jasmine and camomile and sexy hints of rock flint 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.

Technical:

Rapid ripening through January following a delayed season from spring conditions saw the flavours and sugars lift quickly. Our Gingin clone fruit retained fantastic acidity which suggested most plots desired completion of a natural MLF. Some sections were hand-harvested, gently whole-bunch pressed and transferred to French oak barriques as unclarified juice for fermentation. The balance were Selectiv harvested and direct pressed with very high solids juice racked to barrel. All batches were fermented with natural yeasts from the vineyard. Each batch was left on lees in barrel for 8 months of maturation with an additional 6 months blended in the cellar for harmonisation before being bottled. Only Premier Cru Chardonnay sections were selected which included 84% Gingin clone and 16% Bernard clones 95, 96 and 76. Our Wallcliffe vineyard plots dominated in this rapid ripening year, however fantastic Premier sections from Wilyabrup also made the grade, alongside portions from our Carbanup and Karridale vineyards.

Accolades & Awards:

95 Point Rated - Jane Faulkner James Halliday Wine Companion

"While this does not hold back on the flavour front, it still has electrifying acidity and detail, as is the way with this producer. It’s flinty, citrusy, tangy and juicy with the palate full of grapefruit and white peach and texture via a slip of luscious lees and high-toned oak, which is superbly integrated. It’s a chardonnay that offers immediate pleasure without a second thought, and, yet, it lingers, it’s seductive, and you want to come back for more. So I did."


94 Point Rated - Campbell Mattinson The Wine Front

"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. Date: Mar 2024; Alcohol: 13%; Price: $45; Closure: Screwcap; Drink: 2024-2030"


92 Point Rated - Aaron Brasher The Real Review

"Aromas of nougat, stone fruit, citrus, spice and nutty oak. Full-flavoured, complex and mouth-filling. A powerful wine with lashings of white stone fruit, grapefruit and creamy oak. There's lovely weight and texture and the acidity has some zip to it."


90 Point Rated - Huon Hooke The Real Review

"Bright light-mid yellow colour with a complex but fresh bouquet of lemon/citrus, bakery aromas—toast and pastry notes—lemon pudding too, the palate reserved and restrained, with a suggestion of hollowness in the centre. The acidity is high and tightens the finish somewhat, crimping the length. This would go best with appropriate food."
