DESCRIPTION
Vasse Felix Premier Chardonnay 2021 is sourced from the finest terroirs of the Vasse Felix vineyard in Wilyabrup, within the Margaret River region. This 100% Gingin clone Chardonnay is hand-harvested, whole-cluster pressed, and fermented in French oak barrels using only wild yeasts. It was then aged for 9 months on the lees with battonage (42% new wood). Malolactic fermentation was permitted this vintage to soften the naturally high acidity. In magnum, it benefits from ideal conditions for prolonged cellaring. The nose delivers a complex bouquet of lemon tart, pineapple, and buttered apple, with secondary notes of nougat and spicy oak. The palate is ample, taut, and fresh, with a long, chalky finish. Best enjoyed with shellfish, grilled fish, or roasted poultry. To be appreciated from now until 2030.
REGION
Margaret River
Australia
Margaret River, in the southwest of Australia, is one of the country's wine jewels. Known for its elegant Chardonnays with intense citrus notes and its refined Cabernet Sauvignons, it enjoys a temperate maritime climate close to that of Bordeaux. This unique terroir gives wines in a more European style, combining freshness, precision and ageing potential.
Today, the region also wins people over with expressive blends and small, precise cuvées.
Recommended for you:
A Margaret River Chardonnay that wins you over with its precision: candied lemon, a very discreet oaky touch, and a mineral tension that provides length. The large format is a true asset for aging.
