Vasse Felix Chardonnay Filius 2024
Introduction
This white wine originates from Australia, specifically from the Margaret River region in Western Australia. Vasse Felix, established in 1967 by regional pioneer Dr. Tom Cullity, holds the distinction of being Margaret River's founding wine estate. Since 1987, the winery has been owned and guided by the Holmes à Court family, who maintain an unwavering commitment to quality and sustainable viticulture. The 'Filius' range, meaning 'son of' in Latin, is crafted in a contemporary house style designed for earlier drinking while reflecting the elegance and purity of the estate's premier Chardonnay parcels.
Wine Description
Vasse Felix Chardonnay Filius displays a bright pale straw colour with gold and green tinges. The nose is open and fragrant, featuring an inviting bouquet of citrus blossom, white nectarine, and lemon sorbet, complemented by subtle nuances of apple pie crust, toasted cashew, and arrowroot biscuits. On the palate, the wine is medium bodied and vibrant, showcasing flavours of fresh peach, mango, and green apple balanced by a creamy texture and a 'mouth-watering' natural acidity. It is characterized by its elegant structure, featuring a fine saline minerality and a persistent finish with a delicate chalky texture. This 100% Chardonnay was 100% wild fermented and matured for approximately 8 months in French oak barriques (with a small percentage of new oak) and large format foudres. The ABV is 12.5%, and the winery utilizes organic and sustainable farming practices. The optimal drinking window for this vintage is from now through 2031.
