Vasse Felix is one of Margaret River's biggest names, regularly delivering benchmark expressions of the styles synonymous with this highly acclaimed region. The 2023 Vasse Felix Filius Shiraz is another fresh, modern rendition of Margaret River Shiraz. Made from fruit sourced from each of the Vasse Felix vineyards, with a focus on cooler climate, southern Margaret River fruit.
The nose opens with pretty, floral notes with hints of black pepper, cured meats and liquorice, lift from a light fresh cherry and boysenberry fruit base. A juicy buoyant entry gives way to a plump core and a salivating lingering finish, it has a lovely body supported by an elegant, fine, soft, silky tannin structure. Layers of raspberry, maraschino cherry, truffle and lavender intermingle through to the finish.
