- TASTING NOTE: A poised Rosé of pale salmon hues with a fine, energetic bead. Alluring notes of freshly gathered red cherries, wild strawberries and goji berries unfold above fragrant intimations of crunchy white nectarine and fresh baked pastries. Exuberant with perky minerality, the palate transitions elegantly from hints of Australian finger lime pearls, racy cherry and pink rose petal, to an energetic sea foam mousse. Fruit purity is celebrated by the delicate dosage.

ABOUT THE WINE: Idée Fixe is French for - 'A fixed idea. Obsession'. Produced from a site first planted in 1995 the Brut Rosé's journey began in the vineyard’s ‘D Block’ with an unexpected discovery. A block of established vines assumed to be Margaret River’s prized Gingin Chardonnay clone was littered with a mix of Champagne clones. Delicate in fruit power and high in natural acidity, the mysterious clonal selection proved perfect for making a Margaret River sparkling. Subsequently, these Chardonnay clones have been propagated throughout the vineyard. The wine is made in the traditional method from predominately Chardonnay with a small portion of still red wine made from Pinot Noir, and ages in bottle for over 23 months on lees before disgorgement.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The first wine from this vineyard was produced in 2012 under the Vasse Felix label. In 2020 Vasse Felix opened a purpose built sparkling wine production facility and released the first Idée Fixe Blanc de Blancs from fruit of the 2018 vintage. Vasse Felix was established in 1967 by regional pioneer Dr Tom Cullity and is the Margaret River regions founding wine estate.
