NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Vasse Felix Filius Chardonnay is a delightful expression of Margaret River Chardonnay.It showcases the region's renowned ability to produce exceptional white wines.
On the nose, the Vasse Felix Filius Chardonnay offers a bouquet of vibrant citrus fruits, such as lemon and grapefruit, intertwined with subtle hints of white peach and melon. These aromas are complemented by delicate floral notes, adding a touch of elegance to the overall profile.
The palate is beautifully balanced, with a medium body and a refreshing acidity that brings liveliness to the wine. Flavors of ripe stone fruits, particularly nectarine and apricot, take center stage, accompanied by a gentle touch of vanilla and toasted oak. The oak influence is well-integrated, providing structure and complexity without overpowering the fruit.
The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of citrus zest and a subtle minerality. Vasse Felix Filius Chardonnay is a versatile wine that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a variety of dishes. It pairs exceptionally well with seafood, grilled chicken, or creamy pasta dishes.
