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.
‘20% Malbec, 2% Petit Verdot, and the rest is Cabernet. This is the best Tom Cullity to date for me.
Red and black fruits, dried roses, peppermint tea, cedar and spice. It’s medium bodied, fleshy and perfumed, succulent in fruit, polished fine grained tannin, oak present but not dominant, clean almost cranberry acidity, and an earthy savoury Malbec infused finish of fine length. Has a delicacy and distinctive character.’ -95 Points. Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
