Since 1987, the Holmes à Court family has guided Vasse Felix with an unwavering vision: to make the domaine and the Margaret River wine region, and make them globally recognized for the next 100 years and beyond.

During the "growth season," we work intuitively and intensively with the structure and foliage of each vine to optimize the quality and resistance of our grapes.
