The 2025 Vasse Felix Classic Dry Red is a vibrant Margaret River red crafted in a fresh, approachable style. Produced by Vasse Felix, Australia's founding winery in Margaret River, this blend is designed to highlight bright fruit, soft tannins and everyday drinkability without the influence of oak. The nose is lively and aromatic, revealing cassis, blackberry and dark plum, complemented by notes of violet, white mushroom and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a smooth, juicy texture and vibrant natural acidity. Flavours of blackberry, plum and dark cherry are supported by fine, elegant tannins, creating a balanced wine with a clean, refreshing finish. Its youthful fruit character and supple structure make it equally enjoyable lightly chilled on warmer days.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic everyday Margaret River red for those who enjoy fresh, fruit-driven wines with plenty of versatility. Best enjoyed over the next 2–5 years. Pair with barbecue favourites, gourmet burgers, wood-fired pizza, roast lamb or mushroom pasta.
