Vasse Felix Filius Chardonnay 2023

Grape Varietals & Region:100% Chardonnay from their estate vineyards in Margaret River, Australia.

Parcels of Filius Chardonnay are typically lighter in body and fruit weight, derived from multiple clones and sites that naturally produce elegant, lighter fruit flavours

Taste Profile:A harmonious bouquet unfolds with fragrant citrus blossom, white nectarine, preserved lemon, jasmine, pineapple, lightly roasted cashew nut, wheatgerm and a subtle flinty undertone. Incredibly fresh and vibrant, with lifted saline mineral tones and balanced acidity creating a mouthwatering sensation. The palate is long, fine, and elegant, filling the entire mouth while seamlessly flowing to a light, dry finish with a delicate chalky texture.

Winemaking Process:Each parcel was handled with respect for the unique qualities of our vineyard sites, undergoing natural fermentation with varying solids levels, and tailored fine French oak and btonnage programs. Three large-format foudres were included, preserving vibrant fruit character, enabling unique development, and allowing for low sulphur use. After 7.5 months maturation in oak, the parcels were combined to create a typical Vasse Felix Chardonnay from Margaret River
