Note di degustazione
Limpid yellow. Intensely perfumed, mineral-accented aromas of Meyer lemon, pear skin, fig and toasted brioche, lifted by a spicy gingery element. Sappy, penetrating citrus and orchard fruit flavors pick up iodine and fennel notes with air. Chewy, gripping and minerally on the lingering, sharply focused finish, which leaves a sappy pear nectar note behind.

Aromas a little more intense than on the Filius. But not markedly more intense on the palate, deeper perhaps and a little longer. Mealy lees quality and the textural richness that is characteristic of of Vasse Felix Chardonnays. Fresh and embryonic. (JH)
Some broad, winning ripe-fruit character on the nose and then this is marshalled into a tight-knit bundle on the palate. Excellent acidity that is well integrated. I suspect this will be even better in a year’s time but it’s already broachable. (JR)
Lightly smoky nose. Crystal-clean fruit. Really limpid palate expression. Bursting with life. Lovely mid weight. Very readable without too much – but with significant – acidity. Only on the finish does this present itself as anything less than tip top. VGV (JR)
Informazioni sul produttore
Vasse Felix was the first winery in Margaret River, founded in 1967. Today, it is one of Western Australia’s – and the New World’s – most respected names, crafting outstanding, cool-climate Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon from this remote region, south of Perth.
