Ripe nectarine, melon and citrus are layered with roast pecan, subtle cream, flint and a salty mineral edge, while fresh acidity and fine phenolics keep the palate focused and dry. Vasse Felix was Margaret River’s founding wine estate, established in 1967, and has spent decades helping define the region’s modern Chardonnay style. This is polished, complex and beautifully composed, but still generous enough to make opening it feel like pleasure rather than homework.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the winery says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine combines ripe rockmelon, honeydew and citrus blossom with touches of lemongrass, tarragon, struck flint and sea spray. The palate is fleshy and powerful, showing grilled nectarine, roast pecan, galangal and smoked cream, framed by bright acidity and fine, dry phenolics. Vasse Felix’s house approach uses wild fermentation in French oak barriques, with unclarified juice, natural malolactic fermentation where it occurs and minimal intervention throughout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the experts say:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling, 96\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The refined palate is tightly wound with focused acidity and underlying power that will only develop.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJeni Port, WinePilot, 95\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Summer stone fruits, citrus, grapefruit pith, sea spray, savoury almond notes and toasted biscuit rise in a riveting aroma.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Negociants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53214577394031,"sku":"100964","price":299.94,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/2252\/6319\/files\/VasseFelixPremierChardonnay.jpg?v=1784602767","url":"https:\/\/stolencellar.co.nz\/products\/vasse-felix-premier-chardonnay","provider":"Stolen Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
