Vasse Felix Classic Dry White 2022

Endlich mal wieder ein klassischer Western Australia Semillon Sauvignon Blanc! Ja, das Zeug hat eine eigene Handschrift - einmal darauf eingetrunken, wird man sie ein Leben lang wiedererkennen und mit "hochklassigem Allrounder" assoziieren. So ähnlich wie es mal mit Sauvignon Blanc war oder Entre-Deux-Mers. Der Wein durchläuft eine kühle Fermentation in Edelstahltanks, um die durchdringenden Aromen des Sauvignon Blancs und des Semillon optimal einzufangen und ist dank des Sauvignon Blanc-Anteils wunderbar frisch. Er riecht nach Äpfeln, Lychees und Blumen, der Semillon sorgt für die cremige, vollmundige Struktur und gibt dem Wein Rückgrat und eine tolle Komplexität.

"This is one of those well-made, uncomplicated yet subtle wines. It serves its purpose to provide enjoyment with its lemon-lime, melon and snow pea flavours, crisp acidity and refreshment guaranteed."

Winemaker´s Comment:

Comprised of organically grown fruit and fermented with wild or organic yeasts; this has added to heightened fruit expression and textural elements. Another low yielding vintage for Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc has delivered a soft and full fruit core while still containing crunchy, fresh acidity.

Vintage Notes:

A cool, winter-like spring saw vine growth delayed in development. Rainfall in October was significant. A dry and warm summer, with sustained warmth day and night through December, January and February, possibly influenced by another La Niña season, saw a rapid ripening period for all white varieties, with all vineyards harvested in little over a month. Fruit quality was excellent with surprising delicacy and elegance. A low yielding vintage, primarily due to spring conditions over the past two years.

Winemaker"s favourite Recipe:

A wine that is a joy to drink on its own (a fantastic picnic, barbeque, verandah and aperitif wine) and does not demand a food match. But fantastic with shellfish (oysters, scampi, marron) as well as lighter fish dishes and complements canapés and finger food well. “A sunny day equals Classic Dry White, cheese and olives on a picnic rug on the lawn.”
