95 Points - Ray Jordan
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 2025 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.
"95 Points. These chardonnays from Vasse Felix over the last few years are really starting to hit their straps. They seem to be allowed to release more of the flavour intensity, and the result is a wine of immense appeal. At the same time, it retains that essential linear, crunchy acidity that is a feature of the style. This one has a lively, chalky, oyster-shell aroma with traces of cashew and brioche. So it's immediately complex. But then the flavour reveals more rich quince paste and stone fruit characters, once again balanced with keen, crisp acidity. Poised and balanced, and beautifully integrated."- Ray Jordan, rayjordanwine.com.au
