Vasse Felix produces fine Margaret River reds with great balance and style. This traditional blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon shows sweet mid-palate fruit with liquorice and spice and good tannin structure. Fantastic French oak integration enabling soft tannin complexity and a lovely length of flavour.

Vasse Felix, Margaret River's founding wine estate, was established by Dr Thomas Brendan Cullity in 1967. Among his first plantings were Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec vines, from which he produced the estate's first red wine. The Tom Cullity descends from these original vines and represents the pinnacle of Vasse Felix. The inaugural release will be in May 2017, coinciding with Vasse Felix's 50th Anniversary.

All blocks were destemmed only without crushing. Natural Ferment. The Petit Verdot, Malbec and 54% Cabernet Sauvignon (making up 54%) open fermented, hand plunged & pressed dry. The remaining 46% of the Cabernet & Malbec were static fermented, gently pumped over through a splash tub. Left on skins for up to 34 days. The small sections were basket pressed to fine French oak and matured for only 16 months.A complex nose of light red-berry jam notes with hints sage, teak, shortbread, peanut &blood orange.
