95 Points - Jane Faulkner
Vasse Felix is one of Margaret River's biggest names, regularly delivering benchmark expressions of the styles synonymous with this highly acclaimed region. The 2024 Vasse Felix Filius Sauvignon Blanc Semillon is another vibrant expression of this popular dry white blend.
Lifted, perfumed and floral on the nose with fresh lime, passionfruit, guava and lemon sorbet notes jumping out of the glass. The palate is soft and luscious with generous guava and lemon zest mingling within the rounded, fleshy fruit profile. The quenching preserved lemon acid-line provides structure, with gently puckering persistence rounding out a moreish white wine.
"95 Points. This tier, as in Filius and the blend, is standing tall of late and it’s pleasing to see, or rather, taste. If anything, this is more elegant and restrained, a balance of citrus, white stone fruit and tropical fruit, a flutter of fresh herbs but texture and a fine acidity lead. The palate lingers, it’s a touch savoury and moreish. Good drinking here folks"- Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion 2025.
