Product Overview
94 Points - Wine Advocate
"The 2023 Chardonnay leads with pistachio and white peach, crushed shells and saline acidity. This is really good; it's complex, mouthfilling and sophisticated and massively overdelivers for the money (this, pleasingly, still sits at under $50 AUD). It's an excellent wine from an excellent season, matured for nine months in French oak barrique, 28% new. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap." -EL, 6/19/25

"Excellent value for the stellar quality, this gem of wine opens with opulent aromas of crushed oyster shells, nuts, cantaloupe and lemon, with a flaky pastry crust note at the back. There's a fabulous lift of mouth-watering acidity with textural interest and grilled citrus and melon flavors lingering long after you've swallowed. Superbly balanced and food friendly." -CP, 9/1/25

"The 2023 Vasse Felix Chardonnay is a confident release, offering generous fruit and texture while retaining the sophisticated house style. Energetic and pristine aromas of nectarine and florals open on the nose, with fresh nutty elements emerging as the wine breathes. Oak is prominent but in perfect unison with the powerful fruit. The palate shows excellent fruit density, punctuated by chalky acidity and a strong saline freshness that holds true over a long, fine finish." -AH, Jun/2025
92 Points - Wine Spectator
"Offers an appealingly firm, juicy frame, with notes of smoked, salted butterscotch and toasted brioche that complement the notes of peach preserves, lemon curd and orange blossoms. Shows plenty of verve on the finish. Drink now through 2035. 4,200 cases made, 200 cases imported." -MW, 8/31/25
