Vasse Felix Heytesbury Chardonnay 2023 ( 6 Bottles) Margaret River, Australia

by Negociants 0 orders

$585.00

Vasse Felix Heytesbury Chardonnay 2023 from Margaret River is a finely sculpted and deeply expressive flagship chardonnay. Aromas of white peach, nectarine and lemon curd intertwine with struck flint, toasted almond and elegant oak spice. The palate is pure and tightly focused, delivering layered stone fruit, citrus drive and a remarkable sense of tension. A saline mineral thread and beautifully integrated acidity give precision, while subtle creamy elements add finesse without weight. The finish is long, chalky and confidently composed, reflecting both site and masterful winemaking. Early critical praise is strong, though no formal published scores for the 2023 vintage were available at review.

About Vasse Felix Wines

Established in 1967 by regional pioneer Dr Tom Cullity, Vasse Felix is Margaret River’s founding wine estate.

One of the great wine regions of the world, Margaret River enjoys a truly unique environment and climate which makes it a paradise for winemakers and wine lovers alike. From the first plantings, right up to the modern day, we have always strived to explore and express the very best of the Margaret River region at Vasse Felix.

“Score awarded by the Halliday tasting panel at the annual Awards judging. JF writes: When it comes to the best of the best, provenance is paramount. And taste memory utmost, especially when tasting Heytesbury made under Virginia Willcock’s tutelage (in ’26 she clocks up 20 years as chief winemaker at Vasse Felix, during which time she has transformed chardonnay in the region and beyond). Her influence is here in this wine, and ’23 will be known as one of the finest. It’s hard to explain because it’s still very tightly wound, yet it has depth and volume. Oscillating between power and refinement, intensity and pure drinking pleasure. Grapefruit, Meyer lemon, a crushed oyster shell note, flinty, moreish sulphides, texture, mouth-watering, pure acidity and so much more besides. Nothing else to say other than that this is outstanding.
