Vasse Felix Chardonnay 2023
Vasse Felix Chardonnay 2023
Virginia@Vasse Felix: The quintessential Margaret River Chardonnay, made from a selection of Vasse Felix’s premier plots of powerful Chardonnay. Made in the modern Margaret River style of elegance, power and restraint, with the wild complexity which distinguishes Vasse Felix Chardonnay.
Tasting Notes
Resolved and fine, revealing complex perfumes of lemon custard, accented by a hint of fennel seed and yellow flowers. A tight, elegant palate with impressive fruit weight and underlying power. Beautifully mouthwatering, with a subtle saline minerality and polished acidity.
Plaudits
If this chardy were in a rock band, it would be more than a backup singer to the lead vocals of Heytesbury – it would also belt out a few solos. It has its own voice. A little fleshier with white stone fruit but, of course, it comes with grapefruit and ginger flowers. It’s a lovely drink and there's no need to wait to drink it. James Halliday. 95 Points.

About Winery
About Winery
Vasse Felix is one of the big Margaret River three (Leeuwin and Voyager the others). It is officially known as the first commercial winery in Margaret River so the winery will always be an integral fabric of the region. They have a broad price range here – from the classic red at $15, to the Tom Cullity at around $200. The restaurant, in culinary experience and setting, is exquisite, and lauded winemaker Virginia Willcock has just been voted winemaker of the year – 2026 Halliday. (Head viticulturalist Bart Malony was voted best viticulturalist by James Halliday in 2024 so must know what he’s doing too.)
James Halliday:
Vasse Felix is Margaret River’s founding wine estate, established by regional pioneer Dr Tom Cullity. Chief winemaker Virginia Willcock has energised the winemaking and viticultural team with her no-nonsense approach and fierce commitment to quality.
