Vasse Felix Filius Chardonnay 2023

Fresh and expressive, with white peach, citrus and pear complemented by subtle floral, nutty and savoury notes. The palate is bright and supple, combining lively acidity with gentle creamy texture and restrained oak influence before a clean, refreshing finish.

Food Pairing: Pair with grilled fish, roast chicken, prawns, creamy pasta, fresh cheeses, seafood risotto, or roasted seasonal vegetables.

94 Points - Wine Enthusiast

With the most upfront fruit in the Vasse Chard trio, Filius is immediately comforting in a favorite T-shirt kind of way, with bright, fleshy lime and peach blossom, a flicker of nougat and something stony, a bit salty. It flows seamlessly to a palate of mouth-watering acidity that balances the toasty oak and malolactic influences.

93 Points - Wine Spectator

Bright and expressive, with plenty of precision to the detailed notes of lemon sherbet, lemongrass, pear, lemon verbena, white pepper and green apple. Hints of tangerine, lemon oil and tarragon linger on a juicy frame. Drink now.

92 Points - James Suckling

The nose is fruit-driven, with generous aromas of peaches, white nectarines and orange blossoms. The palate is medium-bodied with focused acidity, giving notes of lemon pith, pink grapefruit and flint. Very refined and polished, being a classic style of Margaret River chardonnay. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
