100% wild yeast and mature in 30% new French oak barriques for 10 months and a further 5 months in tank. This burst with the pedigree and reverence of Margaret River with the pin point precision we have come to know of Vasse Felix. Lemon sorbet, talc and donut peach. Frangipani, summer sunshine and almond butter. Here fruit power is matched by swathes of velvet texture, fine natural acidity and long lasting flavour, more than moments it echoes with vanilla, grapefruit and soft butter. This is outstanding value, across the globe a wine that stands very tall indeed. Drink now or cellar for another 5-8 years. A perfect pairing with fettucini and picked crab meat.
