Vasse Felix Filius Chardonnay 2014
Margaret River, Western Australia, AustraliaFilius translates to ‘son of’ in Latin, describing the relationship between these wines and their Premier ‘fathers’ higher up in the Vasse Felix tier. This rich, stylish Western River chardonnay certainly carries the lineage, with cream, dried herbs and fragrant wildflowers carrying through to the full, wood-drawn palate. Nine months in French oak (20 percent new) certainly pumps up the muscular structure, while textured mineral, lemon curd, green apple and wild sage herbaceous notes are brightened with a piercing citrine acidity. Young and bold, this will mellow with 2-4 years in the cellar.Tasted: 03 December 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $32.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
