WINE DESCRIPTION
Vasse Felix's Filius Cabernet Sauvignon hails from the renowned Margaret River region of Western Australia, known for its Cabernet wines that rival the world's best. As one of the region's pioneering wineries, Vasse Felix marries traditional and innovative techniques to create a wine that captures the essence of its terroir. Sourced from select vineyards featuring gravel-loam soils, the grapes enjoy a maritime climate that results in a long growing season. After fermentation, the wine is aged in French oak barrels, allowing its flavors to integrate and evolve.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Vasse Felix Filius Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a deep, inky color that sets the stage for its rich profile.The nose is an elegant array of blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum, accompanied by subtle nuances of eucalyptus, graphite, and a hint of cedarwood. The palate is both luscious and complex, presenting flavors of dark fruits, tobacco, and a touch of dark chocolate. Firm but fine-grained tannins provide a solid structure, while balanced acidity adds freshness and vitality. The finish is long and resonant, leaving a memorable impression of fruit, spice, and well-integrated oak. An exquisite example of Margaret River Cabernet, this wine is versatile enough to enjoy now or cellar for future enjoyment.
