Vasse Felix Filius Chardonnay 2015 (Australia)

Description

Lovely lemon biscuit, with light peach and pineapple notes meddle with a complexing lift of grapefruit pith, ghee, hints of spicy ginger oak and savoury herbed bread crust.

The palate lands soft and creamy with a rapid mouthwatering acidity. The flavour carries peach, pineapple and lemon pith, finishing pleasantly dry and fresh with lingering savoury spicy oak under the bright fruit.

All parcels were treated in respect of the unique qualities coming from our vineyard sites through natural fermentation with varying solids levels, fine French oak and battonage programs tailored to the individual batch. Following 9 months of maturation in oak, the parcels with vibrant fruit perfumes and elegant fruit weight with complex yeast and integrated oak as an overall blend, were combined to create a unique vibrant complex varietal Chardonnay from Margaret River.

Vasse Felix Chardonnay is typified by its bright, elegant fruit, subtle wild complexities and a tight acid structure, reflecting the vibrancy and purity of this variety in Margaret River. 'Filius' translates to 'son of' in Latin, reflecting the relationship between this wine and its premier 'father'.
