Heytesbury

2009 Margaret River Chardonnay

Vasse Felix Heytesbury is an exquisite 2009 Chardonnay hailing from the picturesque Margaret River region in Australia. This wine showcases a full-bodied character that is beautifully complemented by its bright acidity, which adds a refreshing lift to each sip. With a prominent fruit intensity, notes of ripe stone fruits, citrus, and a hint of creaminess tantalize the palate, creating a symphony of flavors that are both complex and inviting. The wine features a subtle yet notable structure, with soft tannins that enhance its elegance without overwhelming the experience. As a dry wine, it offers a clean finish that makes it exceptionally food-friendly, perfect for pairing with seafood or creamy dishes.

Western Australia

Fans of Aussie wine will be familiar with Western Australia's beautifully complex Bordeaux, Burgundy and Rhône varietals and blends. Lying south of Perth around the southwestern tip of the country, this relatively small area produces just five percent of Australia's wine. But when it comes to quality, Western Australia punches well above its weight. Well-known small sub-regions within Western Australia include Margaret River, Frankland River and the Blackwood Valley, where the dynamic Chardonnays, Pinot Noirs and Rieslings are distinctly European in character.
