    The Vasse Felix Premier Chardonnay 2023 is a stunning embodiment of what makes Margaret River Chardonnay so revered. This captivating white wine showcases the region's cool climate, diverse soils, and the winemaking expertise of Vasse Felix.

    This exceptional Chardonnay undergoes fermentation in French oak barriques, followed by maturation in a combination of new and used French oak barrels for 14 months. Vasse Felix utilises 44% new oak and 56% seasoned oak, with 26% from one-year-old Mercurey casks. This meticulous process allows the wine to develop complexity while retaining its vibrant characteristics. The Premier Chardonnay is also vegan-friendly, reflecting Vasse Felix's commitment to sustainable and inclusive practices.

    While the Premier Chardonnay is delightful in its youth, it also possesses the potential to age gracefully for over 5 years. As the wine matures, it will develop further complexity, offering a rewarding experience for those who choose to cellar it.

    Vasse Felix

    Vasse Felix, situated in Western Australia's Margaret River region, has emerged as a symbol of outstanding winemaking ever since its establishment in 1967. This highly regarded winery has been instrumental in elevating Margaret River to the status of one of Australia's top wine regions, leaving an indelible mark on its development and reputation. Vasse Felix got its name from its founder, Dr. Tom Cullity. An avid historian, Dr. Cullity named the vineyard Vasse Felix, which means 'lucky/happy' Vasse. He hoped that the vineyard would enjoy a happier fate than the original Vasse, a French sailor who sought refuge in the region in the late 18th century. The name Vasse Felix has since become synonymous with the winery's commitment to excellence and its role in shaping the Margaret River region into a premier wine destination. Vasse Felix wines embody the spirit, passion and unparalleled quality that have come to define the Margaret River region in Western Australia. With a legacy spanning over five decades, Vasse Felix stands as a beacon of winemaking excellence, consistently producing wines that showcase the unique terroir and character of the region. The Margaret River wine region in Australia is known for its exceptional wines and beautiful landscapes. With a maritime climate and diverse soils, it provides ideal conditions for grape cultivation. The region's commitment to small-scale, artisanal winemaking produces high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and other varietals.
