Tasting Note: The oil is deep green in colour with a fresh aroma of olives, artichokes and aromatic herbs. On the palate it already has a good balance between bitter and spicy notes in the finish while maintaining a great freshness.

Chardonnay is the lead varietal, which creates finesse and elegance, while the Pinot Noir adds fruitiness and structure. Bottled at the end of the spring following the harvest. The dosage is carefully selected to preserve the balance between freshness, fruit and vinosity without masking the wine’s character and purity.

Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front "This is a rich style of chardonnay. It will be too rich for some, and too irresistible for others. It’s buttery, and toasty, and slightly resiny, with peaches-drizzled-with-honey...read more

Stuart McCloskey - "This certainly drinks better than many fizzes north of twenty-quid. Rich and deep – I do like the crème patisserie which melds with ripe orchard fruits. There’s acidity which adds a little verve...read more

Stuart McCloskey "This is fun and immensely enjoyable....Clearly, this is much better than the price tag, which is as refreshing as the wine… This is outright juicy and delicious...read more

100 Points - Decanter “Tiny yields from an outstanding and widely declared year. Deep and opaque with glorious minty-ripe aromas, this already sings from the glass. Concentrated and multi-layered berry fruit backed by the super fine-grained tannins and finishes with a flourish – a ‘wow’ of a wine."

Stuart McCloskey. Tasted 19 November 2025 “Tradition and quality go hand in hand – what I love most is the sheer elegance. This is beautiful, refined and enduring.” Read more...

17 Points - Jancis Robinson.com "Purple with a grey edge to it. Bacon-fat, cedar, clove and subtle chocolate notes layered over jammy raspberry and cherry, with again a menthol scent. Plenty of upfront, rich black fruit on the palate...read more

“If you are looking for a full-bodied shiraz with real class, it's hard to go past this”

Stuart McCloskey “I spent an evening with the highly acclaimed 2023 Vasse Felix Heytesbury which won every Aussie award going. Wine is personal, but I do wonder about peer pressure amongst the critics. It was good to very good. This, without question, is a notch-up...read more
