Vasse Felix Heytesbury Chardonnay 2023, crafted by Virginia Willcock in Margaret River, is a benchmark of precision and depth. Aromas of white peach, lemon curd and struck flint are layered with nougat and hazelnut. The palate is powerful yet refined, showing citrus, stone fruit and savoury oak seamlessly integrated with taut acidity and a fine saline minerality. Structured and complex, it finishes with exceptional length and poise. Frequently awarded 96-98 points by leading critics, Heytesbury stands as one of Australia’s greatest Chardonnays. The 2023 release exemplifies Margaret River’s pedigree – vibrant in youth yet destined to age with grace and authority.
