It’s the result of the earliest vintage on record at Vasse Felix, with the fruit being picked on 17 January. It’s a wine of power and generosity, yet the subtle secondary characters in here really do strike a complex note. It’s made predominantly from the Gingin clone and shows generosity, but typically lively acidity is there, and that wild fermentation adds richness and density. The aromas are a mix of brioche, subtle lemon curd, and cashew. But then there’s a bright minerality. The palate is almost lavish, yet it’s held tightly with that fine linear precision and crisp acidity. These wines have certainly become slightly more generous in recent years and allow the full expression of the Gingin clone from these distinct sites. It’s another outstanding wine. Dare I say it, but this could be the finest Heytesbury yet.“\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp _ngcontent-ng-c2245304151=\"\" class=\"metadata\"\u003eRay Jordan The WA Wine Review 2026, 12 Nov 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp _ngcontent-ng-c2245304151=\"\" class=\"metadata\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlagship Margaret River Chardonnay for crayfish, pork or roast chicken.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oak \u0026 Élevage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67823460515933,"sku":"VF-HEY-CH-2024","price":136.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/7426\/1853\/files\/wine-46211166732381-oak-marble-b1b1e8d7-d12a-4ae5-b7f7-848ef696b07f.png?v=1792789873","url":"https:\/\/oakandelevage.com.au\/products\/2024-vasse-felix-heytesbury-chardonnay","provider":"Oak \u0026 Elevage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
