Vasse Felix Cabernet Sauvignon
A bouquet of aromas of blackcurrants, dark cherries, and plum with notes of cedar, and dried herbs. On the palate, it has layers of dark fruit, cocoa, and a hint of spice to round out the complexity. Vasse Felix, established in 1967, is Margaret River’s founding winery and a benchmark producer in the region. Known for its focus on excellence and minimal intervention (meaning they let the grapes showcase themselves as pure as possible in the final wine), the estate produces wines that reflect the unique maritime climate and ancient soils of the region.
