2024 Vasse Felix Heytesbury Chardonnay 1.5L Magnum Wooden Gift Box

Size: 1.5L Magnum

Overview

The 2024 Vasse Felix Heytesbury Chardonnay is the flagship Chardonnay of the estate and one of Margaret River’s most revered white wines. Produced from the finest vineyard parcels and only in the most outstanding expressions of the vintage, Heytesbury represents the pinnacle of precision, power, and finesse. Presented in magnum format, this release offers greater ageing potential and slower, more graceful evolution in bottle.

Vineyard and Winemaking

Fruit is sourced from select vineyard sites across Margaret River, chosen for concentration, natural acidity, and site character. Hand-harvested fruit was whole-bunch pressed and fermented in French oak barriques, with a carefully judged proportion of new oak to build complexity and structure. Extended lees maturation and partial malolactic fermentation added textural richness and integration while preserving freshness and mineral precision.

Tasting Notes

The bouquet reveals white peach, lemon curd, and grapefruit layered with flint, roasted cashew, and subtle brioche. The palate is concentrated yet tightly wound, delivering citrus and stone fruit intensity balanced by creamy texture and vibrant acidity. Mineral tension drives the wine through a long, focused finish of clarity, power, and elegance.

Style and Character

The 2024 Heytesbury Chardonnay exemplifies Vasse Felix’s pursuit of site-driven excellence — rich yet restrained, layered yet precise. In magnum format, the wine gains additional cellaring appeal, allowing greater complexity and refinement to emerge over time.

Cellaring and Pairing

Enjoy now with decanting for youthful intensity, or cellar confidently for 12–20 years. Ideal with lobster, scallops, roast chicken, or creamy seafood dishes that complement its depth and structure.
