2024 Vasse Felix 'Filius' Chardonnay

Fragrant citrus blossom and white nectarine aromas lead into a palate of ripe peach and tangy lemon curd. The wine features a fine, chalky texture and a savory, flinty finish.

Sustainable farming and hand-harvesting precede a wild yeast fermentation in French oak barriques. The wine matures for seven months on the lees in mostly neutral oak and large foudres, undergoing partial malolactic fermentation to balance its creamy weight with bright acidity.

Vasse Felix is the founding estate of the Margaret River region in Western Australia. The Filius Chardonnay is sourced from selected vineyard sites across the coastal ridge, where ancient gravelly loam soils are cooled by the influence of the Indian and Southern Oceans.
