VASSE FELIX FILIUS CHARDONNAY

Winery notes:

APPEARANCE
Bright pale straw.
NOSE
Harmonious fine fruit with savoury complexities. Bright
on the nose with citrus peel, green apple, nashi pear, white
peach and nectarine with undertones of jasmine, grapefruit
pith and limestone.
PALATE
The palate is creamy and soft, yet focused, showcasing
lemon curd, grapefruit and green pawpaw. There is a pristine
freshness to this wine revealing a saline mineral edge and
a beautiful balance. The finish is fine, delicate, savoury and
long with an intriguing soft chalky texture.
WINEMAKER COMMENTS
Coming from multiple sites and clones, the parcels used were
lighter in body and fruit weight, producing lighter, elegant
fruit flavours. All parcels were treated in respect of the unique
qualities coming from our vineyard sites through natural
fermentation with varying solids levels, judicious amounts of
French oak and battonage programs tailored to the individual
batch. Following 7 months of maturation in oak individual
parcels were combined. It is the style of fruit from these blocks
of the vineyard that creates harmony to finesse this wine,
the aim being to produce a delicate, balanced and complex
Chardonnay with a clean bright palate. The result is a typical
Vasse Felix varietal Chardonnay from Margaret River.
