The most common form of blending red wine in Australia is by using Cabernet, Shiraz and Merlot. Each variety of grape creating different depth of flavour and texture to the final product.

Vasse Felix, Margaret River’s first winery, was founded in 1967 by Dr Tom Cullity with the simple goal of producing “the best possible wine”. Vasse Felix’s owners, the Holmes à Court family, have lent the name of their ancestral home to this wine to signify their commitment to maintaining Dr Cullity’s goal to this day. The Heytesbury is a barrel selection of the very finest parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot and is matured in French oak barriques for 17 months. It is made without compromise, and its production is strictly limited. 2007 marked a movement towards a Bordeaux style blend for the Heytesbury. Cabernet Sauvignon is complemented with small portions of the very best Malbec and Petit Verdot. Cabernet Sauvignon is a robust variety that consistently provides very high quality wines as a result of Margaret River’s temperate ripening conditions and well drained soils. Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the more aromatic of red varieties and has a unique and wonderful structure. Malbec and Petit Verdot are also very structural wines and both compliment and reinforce the restrained power of Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Vasse Felix Heytesbury is a deep, dark maroon in color with a black and purple hue. The aroma is fragrant and extremely complex with great concentration, leading with blackberry and blackcurrant fruit and hints of orange and cranberries. These classical Cabernet characters are perpetuated by an exotic mix of violets, jasmine, orange and spice, contributed by the Petit Verdot and Malbec, and a lashing of dark chocolate with feint hints of coffee and mocha. The palate is a powerhouse of cassis and dark berries hints of orange and exquisite cinnamon, complemented by chocolate and savoury spice donated by some wonderful French oak. This full bodied wine, whilst young and tight, shows lovely balance of fruit weight, fresh acidity and dry, intense back palate tannins. The Vasse Felix Heytesbury will integrate and gain further complexity with cellaring and is a wine that will stand the true test of time.
