96 Points - James Suckling
Vasse Felix is one of Margaret River's biggest names, regularly delivering benchmark expressions of the styles synonymous with this highly acclaimed region. The Vasse Felix Chardonnay is made from a selection of Vasse Felix’s premier plots of powerful fruit to deliver the quintessential Margaret River Chardonnay.
Made in the modern Margaret River style, the 2024 Vasse Felix Chardonnay features an elegant palate with impressive fruit weight and underlying power. Beautifully mouth-watering, with subtle saline minerality and polished acidity. The finish is dry and savoury, enhanced by delicate notes of nectarine and wood spice. Another outstanding Chardonnay from Vasse Felix.
"96 Points. What a great release, fresh and mineral yet showing a touch of the sun from the warmer vintage. Aromas of Meyer lemons, oyster shell, shortbread, crushed river stones and grapefruit pith. The refined palate is tightly wound with focused acidity and underlying power that will only develop. So much generosity with a hint of funk, pure drive and a precise, compact style. Excellent."- James Suckling, jamessuckling.com.
"95 Points. A slightly more generous style of chardonnay, showing richness and concentration while retaining fine linear precision. Minerally lemon curd with a savoury edge, intense and sustained. One of the best under this label. $46. Cellar: 8 Years"- Ray Jordan, rayjordanwine.com.au.
