Vasse Felix Tom Cullity 2018
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 purest expression of our history, place and vintage; the pinnacle of Vasse Felix.

Cellaring:
Enjoy now or cellar carefully for 20+ years for elegant and savoury aged Cabernet Sauvignon.
Nose:
Such an amazing energy with transparency of vineyard environment emanating via savoury hints of native forest, red gravel and ocean spray, leaning to nori and a touch of mushroom. The fruit is vibrant, outstanding even; reminiscent of fresh boysenberries. Turkish Delight and potpourri bring fragrant beauty, while more excitement lies in spice notes of red peppercorn, Bay tree seeds and very subtle liquorice.
Palate:
So elegant and succulent, yet with powerful structure and length. The immense, levitating body feels rich, but light - it’s miraculous. The tannins are fine, present, peripheral and incredibly long, with perfume so deep it lingers on and on. Their dream Cabernet Sauvignon vintage for weight, flavour preservation and balance.
Varietal Composition:
78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17.5% Malbec, 4.5% Petit Verdot.
