Vasse Felix Margaret River Chardonnay 2009

The Margaret River region in the South West of Western Australia provides ideal conditions for producing varietally distinct wines of the highest quality. A pioneer of the region, Vasse Felix, produces a complex, softly textured Chardonnay through the selection of premium parcels of fruit and wild yeast fermentation in French Oak barriques for 10 month. The final blend is distinct, elegant in style and true to Margaret River. The Vasse Felix Chardonnay can be enyoyed in its youth, but will develop richness and texture with short to medium term cellaring. Screwcap.
The palate arrives vibrant and fresh, with generous white peach and citrus flavours that dominate alongside lemon meringue and biscuit nuances. A crisp and defined acid line draws the fruit to a long and refreshing finish and highlights a fine thread of lingering spice on the palate. Overall a wine of vibrance and delicacy with mouthwatering length.
