Vasse Felix ADAMS ROAD Shiraz Margaret River WesternAustralia Description: Vasse Felix was the first commercial vineyard and winery to be established in the Margaret River region of WesternAustralia. The vineyard took its unusual name from an early event in the district. Vasse was a French seaman who drowned last century when his longboat overturned near the site of Busselton while exploring the coastline on the ship 'Geographe' under Captain Freycinet. Paradoxically, Felix is the Latin word for fortunate or luck. Thus the name refers to a favoured place in Australia discovered by the French. This wine displays vibrant varietal shiraz characteristics, offering ripe plum and cherry liqueur flavours, combined with chocolate and mocha aromas. Classic regional savoury and white pepper characters provide complexity and lift the fruit intensity. Vanillin and sweet smokey oak aromas provide further depth and complexity to the attractive fruit profile. The wine delivers upfront fruit sweetness with soft cherry fruit. The palate fruit profile is exactly as the wine smells and provides good fruit depth and ripeness. Full bodied, supple, soft, well structured and balanced by the firm yet velvety tannin profile, the oak tannins provide subtle, grainy textures on the finish and overall added length and complexity.
