Description
 
The 2021 Heytesbury Chardonnay is as Heytesbury usually is—complex, firmly textured, coastal and briny, with layers of flesh and spice folded in on the palate. The wine ages tremendously, and the release cycle really does it no favors, as the wine seems to come into its own several years after release. It really is a shame about commercial reality! You get salted white peach, brine, saltbush, green apple skins, tea leaves, graphite/pencil box, tobacco leaf and cilantro. It's a sensational wine, and it will be even better in time. It was fermented wild, matured for nine months in French oak barriques (56% new, the balance one to three years old) and settled for six months in tank thereafter. Super wine. Piercing. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Wine Advocate 96+

Every Vasse Felix wine is crafted with individual attention and a focus on expressing the distinct regional characteristics of Margaret River varieties. The finest fruit is selected from specific vineyard sites and fermented in parcels with the greatest of care. All winemaking from vine to bottle is controlled within the estate, where every decision is made in reflection of the vintage and the journey of the individual barrique.The best performing varieties from Margaret River are Carbernet Sauvignon (and Carbernet blends), Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon blends, many of which are recognised amongst the most outstanding of their kind in Australia.
