Vasse Felix
PREMIER SAUVIGNON BLANC
Margaret River, Australia
94 points - Halliday Wine Companion
One of Australia's pioneer wineries and Margaret River's founding wine estate. An white wine from Western Australia that is a sophisticated, pure and expressive interpretation of this popular Margaret River blend with enticing minerality and savoury undertones.
The 2021 Premium Sauvignon Blanc is a wonderfully complex, modern Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc expression. Fermented wild in large-format French oak with a portion of full skins contact, it is aromatic, savoury, textural and layered with a long, dry finish. Fresh and comfortable, with a lovely, broad fruit entry that polishes up to a powdery, dry tannin finish. Medium-bodied with hints of orange zest and fresh, bitter-sweet Passion fruit pip make the palate refreshing, yet densely complete. The perfect aperitivo or accompaniment for rich seafood and poultry.
Established in 1967 by regional pioneer Dr. Tom Cullity, Vasse Felix is Margaret River's founding wine estate.
Pristine isolation, ancient lands and twin oceans make Margaret River a wine paradise and one of the world’s greatest environments to grow ultra-premium Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. These varieties, alongside Shiraz and Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blends are the primary focus at Vasse Felix.
All wines are grown in Vasse Felix’s four Margaret River vineyards then vinified and bottled within the modern winery, situated at the Home Vineyard overlooking the Wilyabrup Brook.
The Vasse Felix family of wines reflect their commitment to expressing and exploring the very best of Margaret River, and continuing Tom Cullity's original aim to "make the best possible wine".
