Description
The Vasse Felix 'Tom Cullity' Cabernet Sauvignon Malbec 2019 is a remarkable expression of Margaret River's winemaking heritage, crafted from the estate’s original vines planted by founder Dr. Thomas Brendan Cullity. This wine offers a brilliant garnet hue and an intricate bouquet of blackcurrant coulis, dried rosemary, and fresh basil, accented by floral notes of lavender and lily. Its aromatic complexity reveals hints of summer forest, fungi, and a subtle musk, showcasing the unique transparency of the vineyard site.
