25.01.2022 A weeknight favourite, the 2019 Classic Dry White. The perfect accompaniment to wistful dreams of Summer in #WineParadise; "..it's bright and as cheery as a summer's day, the best time to enjoy this. Fresh and brimming with lemon-lime flavours complementing the tropical edge of feijoa and passionfruit pith with a sprinkling of fresh herbs. Refreshing all the way." 92 points Halliday Wine Companion

24.01.2022 The new release 2019 Vasse Felix Chardonnay, a perfectly balanced expression of the cool, yet powerful and expressive 2019 vintage. The concentrated perfume possesses elements of stone fruit blended with the serious citrus tones of great Margaret River Chardonnay. Displaying pristine fruit characteristics, with precise acidity, creamy mouthfeel and excellent balance, this elegant wine is surprisingly voluptuous for a cool vintage.... Best enjoyed with soft cheeses and charcuterie, or dishes with flavours of almond, mushroom or macadamia.

23.01.2022 A Chardonnay sweet spot uncovered, the Vasse Felix Boodjidup Vineyard. Located centrally in Margaret River Wine Region, this Vineyard experiences cooler conditions to the Home Vineyard and grows powerful Chardonnay fruit with incredible fresh acidity and unique al dente tension.

21.01.2022 Chocolate, whey, liquorice. A beautifully complex dessert for those who like lunching long. Best enjoyed with the 2017 Cane Cut Semillon.

18.01.2022 As the weather begins to warm up, we find ourselves reaching for fresh and interesting Spring drops, and the new 2019 Sauvignon Blanc release is just that. A ten year evolution of our winemaking style has led us to discover how best to express the personality of our beautiful Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc parcels, teasing out more of the nuanced complexities unique to this region. A portion of full skins ferment and large format oak maturation each play their part in this aromatic, savoury and textural wine. Explore the evolution in more detail on our blog: https://www.vassefelix.com.au//The-New-Era-of-Sauvignon-Bl

17.01.2022 Take a virtual journey to #WineParadise with VinoEd and Tim Robards this Friday! Info and wines here: https://www.vinoed.com.au//vino101-with-tim-robards-wine-p

16.01.2022 A highlight from last month's Terroir and Truffles dinner, the museum selection 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon. From another excellent Cabernet vintage in Margaret River, the beautiful tertiary characters of this wine were considered the best pairing for the savoury and earthy elements of the truffle based dish. And in the words of our Estate Sommelier "it married incredibly well". You can enjoy museum selections from The Vault daily by the glass in our Wine Lounge, no bookin...gs required.

14.01.2022 "Today's top producers Down Under defy old stereotypes with nuanced, vineyard-driven wines."

13.01.2022 The time has come to unveil Idée Fixe Premier Brut; an elegant, expressive and distinct Margaret River Blanc de Blancs made at a new dedicated sparkling house in the region’s south. The project, decades in the making, will soon become a destination in itself. Until then, we invite you to enjoy Idée Fixe at Vasse Felix. Discover more Idée Fixe.

13.01.2022 Scenes from The Vault, our museum space which houses a historical collection of Vasse Felix wines. Special selections from this museum often feature by the glass in our Wine Lounge - preserved and poured in perfect condition from our Enomatic machine. Currently available in the Wine Lounge; the incredible 2014 Heytesbury Chardonnay and 2010 Heytesbury Cabernet Sauvignon. Cheers!

12.01.2022 Friday cellaring recommendation; the 2013 Heytesbury Chardonnay. Drinking incredibly well at seven years of age, this vintage is now opening into lovely secondary characters such as buttered toast and lime marmalade. The persistence of this wine as it meanders off the back palate is remarkable. Seamless, taut, silky and complex, the 2013 vintage is beautiful right now if you have some in your cellar, and also available on the Vasse Felix Restaurant Archive Wine List!

11.01.2022 Over the past few weeks we have undertaken a substantial grafting project in our Vineyards, as part of our continual focus on the two core varieties that perform best in this Region - Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. In just one season we will have grafted approximately 25 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay in our Vineyards thoughout Margaret River. As the grafts start to take off, we will be very busy training and securing them to prevent breakage. An exciting future ahead for these little budwoods.

11.01.2022 Enticing festive fare - Kingfish, Fenugreek & Maesil Dressing. Singing with Summer freshness, this versatile recipe by Head Chef Brendan Pratt will beautifully complement your favourite seafood this festive season. Best enjoyed with the Vasse Felix Sauvignon Blanc. Link to recipe: https://www.vassefelix.com.au//A-Fresh-Summer-Recipe-by-He

10.01.2022 Textural, savoury and complex, the delicious 2018 Sauvignon Blanc Semillon, awarded 95 points and included in the recent 2021 Halliday Wine Companion Best of the Best; "Sauvignon blanc leads this duet at 82% with almost half the blend spending time in a mix of French oak for 6 or so months. It’s a classy outcome. Superb balance of flavours, it has precision, length and line. A crisp, dry finish quite savoury with a phenolic edge adding another layer of complexity." Best enjoyed with Yum Cha, with a decent hit of chilli heat!

08.01.2022 Tomato and Anchovy XO, an at home recipe by Chef Brendan Pratt to lift your favourite Winter Roast Lamb and Cabernet duo to new heights. "When coming up with a food match for the current vintage of Cabernet, we wanted a classic combination. Roast lamb and Bordeaux is the classic choice, and with lamb anchoiade (lamb and anchovy) being a famous dish of France, I figured why not put a Vasse Felix twist into the pairing? And so the Tomato and Anchovy XO was born." Link to recipe: https://www.vassefelix.com.au//Vasse-Felix-At-Home-Tomato-

06.01.2022 There are many things that make Margaret River Cabernet so special. Our Mediterranean climate, ancient gravel loam soils and maritime influence deliver ideal conditions for growing and making ultra-premium Cabernet Sauvignon. This unique terroir, combined with a regional focus on Western Australian heritage Houghton Clone Cabernet, creates wines with lovely density, displaying both power and elegance, with beautifully clear distinction. We hope you are celebrating the most noble of varieties on #InternationalCabernetDay with a drop from our #WineParadise Margaret River Wine.

06.01.2022 Thrilled to share that the 2018 Vasse Felix Chardonnay has been awarded Best Wine in Ray Jordan's 2020 Top 100 Whites today. At 96 points "..the Vasse Felix, from an outstanding vintage, shows the regional power of Margaret River chardonnay." The 2018 Vasse Felix Sauvignon Blanc Semillon (95pts), 2019 Classic Dry White (90pts) and 2020 Classic Dry Rosé (91pts) were also selected in the Top 100, from a tasting of over 550 wines....

05.01.2022 To weekends in #WineParadise that look like this. Described by James Suckling earlier this year as "mouthwateringly juicy (92pts)" the 2019 Filius Chardonnay pairs incredibly with light foods and soft cheeses. What drop are you enjoying this weekend?

05.01.2022 During our Soil Season (late Autumn and Winter) we turn our attention to the earth, undertaking activities to enrich our vineyard soils and environmental diversity. Our homemade compost program forms part of this focus, helping to build good soil structure and feed microbial life in the soil, enabling healthy vine growth. Now in maturation stage, our compost is sitting at a mild 30 degrees and will stay that way until we spread undervine later this year.

04.01.2022 Highlights from last night’s Classic & Contemporary collaboration with Scott Bridger from Bib & Tucker. An incredible menu paired perfectly to Vasse Felix Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon selections.

03.01.2022 Enjoying the first little teaser of Summer this week! These beautiful sunny afternoons are best enjoyed in the Wine Lounge, whiling away the time over a wine flight or charcuterie and cheese as you absorb the sun soaked views of our original vines. Open daily, 10am - 5pm, no reservations required.

02.01.2022 Thrilled to announce that as of Monday 28 September, our Restaurant will return to its full service offering; open 12pm - 3pm, seven days a week. Visitors to the Estate will again be able to indulge in regional flavours, textures and creative cuisine to complement the Wine Collection at this beautiful setting, daily.
