Vasse Felix Single Plot Chardonnay 2023 (750ml)

Vasse Felix returns with the brand new vintage of their truly stunning single plot Chardonnay. For those unfamiliar with the wine, this Gingin clone site used to be one of the vineyards that was blended into their iconic Heytesbury Chardonnay. But in recent years has been showcased as a single vineyard expression.

The third vintage of this limited release Chardonnay. Single Plot DHJ1 is a site-specific expression that is truly unique. Grown on a tiny

plot in the coolest pocket of our site in the Wallcliffe area, ‘J Plot’ sits between a tributary for the Boodjidup Creek and the vineyard dam, upon Red Chromosol (Karri Loam) soils with alluvial laterite deposits. The vines face south-east, receiving cooling influences from both the Indian and Southern Oceans, for gradual, gentle ripening. Virginia and the team continue to be blown away by this outstanding plot, which they feel is too special not to share. Thus, its own bottling felt appropriate. As with all Vasse Felix Chardonnays, pure expression is at the core. With this in mind, a very deliberate choice was made to pair this wine with older, lighteroak to celebrate its elegance, finesse and natural acidity as a lighter-framed, pristine Chardonnay. The wine is unfined and unfiltered, allowing its natural expression to shine.
