The Vasse Felix Chardonnay is a beautifully crafted wine, showcasing a perfect balance of fruit and oak. It typically has aromas of citrus, green apple, and stone fruits like peach and nectarine, with a hint of subtle toasty oak. On the palate, it offers a creamy texture with bright, refreshing acidity that gives the wine great structure. There’s often a slight nuttiness and a touch of vanilla, which comes from the oak maturation, but it’s always in harmony with the fresh fruit flavours. The finish is long, smooth, and crisp, making it a fantastic option for those who enjoy a Chardonnay that’s rich yet restrained.

It’s a sophisticated wine that can be enjoyed young but also has potential for ageing, developing more complex characters over time.
