Vasse Felix Sauvignon Blanc Margaret River 2023

This sits closer to a well-made skin-contact white than a Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc, and is better for it. Dried pear, honey water, palo santo and mango seed lead. A reminder that Vasse Felix can be as creative as it is classic. In the mouth, there’s a contained wildness, shaped by fermentation in oak, with 26% on skins. Plenty of tannin, with notes of tonka bean, cinnamon and apple seed, all held together with saline viscosity. Drink with Indian pani puri.
