Vasse Felix Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Margaret River
Loading...
There's huge praise for this 96-point (three times) Cabernet from Margaret River's legendary Vasse Felix. The 50th anniversary of this classic red is “possibly the best wine released to date”. Deep cassis, graphite, chocolatey cedar with spiced oak.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.

The Story Behind the Bottle
Dr Thomas Cullity is a legend in wine – the founding father of Margaret River. He was already experimenting with vineyards in 1965, then started proper in 1967, producing a Gold-medal Riesling in 1972, the same year he first released this exceptional Cabernet. Quality and reputation for this stellar estate have continued to rise over the decades. In 2012 it won Trophies for Wine of the Year, Winery of the Year (again in 2018) and two for Winemaker of the Year, plus 11 Trophies for their flagship Chardonnay, Heytesbury, alone. Cabernet is another speciality (see all the terrific scores for this 2021). Using tiny parcels of Wilyabrup Cabernet with a touch of Malbec, matured for 18 months in part-new French oak barriques, it's exceptional.
