Vasse Felix
Margaret River Chardonnay
Margaret River, South West Australia, Western Australia, Australia
Translucent yellow. Meyer lemon, pear nectar, jasmine, vanilla and a hint of buttered toast on the intensely perfumed, mineral-accented nose. Juicy and energetic on the palate, offering sappy citrus and orchard fruit, floral, ginger and sweet butter flavors and a suggestion of salty minerality. Shows impressive energy and mineral bite on the chewy, penetrating finish, which features a repeating floral note. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, July 2021)

Solid chardy, but not in the style I like. Certainly could be more precise and less oakey, but it is quite accessible at the moment and well-balanced.

Previewing the Vasse Felix 17 Chardonnay. Such a delicious, well balanced, well priced Chardonnay. You can taste every bit of love put in by this beautiful family Sundowner team.

Having tasted this again I have upped my rating. Citrus, white pear, pineapple and great acidity.

For the price, it’s fantastic. Not a lot of depth but enough on the palate. Nice fruit (citrus, apple, pear) with some floral. Has a nice depth to it, easy drinking and well made!
