Wine Information

“The only aim was to make the best possible wine.”
Founder Dr Tom Cullity.

Almost half a century since the first vines were planted, this simple aim remains the core ethos of Margaret River’s founding winery Vasse Felix and its owners, the Holmes à Court Family.

From an eight acre vineyard and humble winemaking facility in 1967, Vasse Felix has developed to include three premium vineyards and a state-of-the-art winery, where every process is controlled from vine to bottle.

Vasse Felix Cabernet Sauvignon (and Cabernet blends), Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon blends are enjoyed in over 25 countries around the world.

Vasse Felix is one of Margaret River’s most welcoming estates with its contemporary cellar door, nationally-acclaimed restaurant and art gallery. Within the original underground cellar lives an archive of Vasse Felix and Margaret River wine history.

Written Notes

Attractive red colours. Striking and impressive Cabernet notes come through immediately. Blackberries, dry herbs, nettles. Good depth. Licorice and roast meat notes emerge on the palate. The palate is elegant mid weight. This is nicely balanced. Good length. Fine tannins. It does offer a slight note of the formal austerity one so often associates with Cabernet. Stunning stuff from Margaret River.
