The Vasse Felix Sauvignon Blanc Semillon is pale straw. The pungent perfume opens with a note of Lantana Bush and evolves to reveal hints of tropical Thailand with subtle lemongrass, paw paw, lychee and chilli. The Sauvignon Blanc fruit provides the underlying tone of blackcurrant, while yeast complexities conjure notes of bread crust and baked savoury pie. A softer palate than that pungent perfume would suggest. Plush and juicy with a long full texture, revealing a light and tangy Tahitian lime and yoghurt finish.

Vasse Felix is Margaret River’s founding wine Estate and was established in 1967 by regional pioneer Dr Tom Cullity. Pristine isolation, ancient lands and twin oceans make Margaret River a wine paradise and one of the world’s greatest environments to grow ultra-premium Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. These varieties, alongside Shiraz and Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blends, are the primary focus at Vasse Felix. All wines are estate-grown in Vasse Felix’s four Margaret River vineyards then estate-made and bottled.

WINEMAKER COMMENTS Refined winemaking techniques have better developed the exciting complexities built into the powerful, aromatic and structured fruit of Sauvignon Blanc, which is complimented by the tempering delicacy of our best parcels of Semillon. The small portion of Sauvignon Blanc fermented entirely on skins has helped to broaden the palate, while the use of new French Oak has brought spice to the aroma and tannin texture to the palate. A greater step toward wild fermentation this year has resulted in a better expression of our true vineyard character, giving the wine a more savoury and solid core.

VINTAGE DESCRIPTION 2017 was a cooler and later vintage than the previous 10 years; a year of elegant, perhaps slightly lighter bodied wines, though ripe in flavour, vibrant and very perfumed. Higher than average yields in combination with a cooler season contributed to delayed ripening of the fruit and good acid retention. Some timely warmth and sunshine occurred throughout January, although February temperatures remained moderate with some rainfall. With the cooler weather, canopy management and fruit thinning was imperative to mitigate disease pressures and allow for even, persistent ripening. There was a warm start to March to finish the white harvest, followed by the driest April since 1982, finishing the reds beautifully.
