Vasse Felix Chardonnay 2024

The Vasse Felix Filius Margaret River Chardonnay 2024 is a refined, elegant white from one of the region’s most acclaimed producers, balancing purity of fruit with subtle complexity. In the glass, it shows a bright pale straw hue. The bouquet is harmonious and inviting, unfolding with notes of citrus blossom, white nectarine, preserved lemon, jasmine, pineapple, roasted cashew, wheatgerm and a delicate flinty edge.

On the palate, it is incredibly fresh and vibrant, with lifted saline minerality and balanced acidity creating a mouthwatering sensation. Long, fine and elegant, it fills the mouth before flowing seamlessly to a dry, chalky finish. Parcels of Filius Chardonnay are typically lighter in body and fruit weight, carefully selected from sites that naturally produce refined, delicate flavours. Gentle oak handling and fermentation with lighter solids bring balance and texture, while maturation in fine French oak, including large-format foudres, preserves fruit brightness and finesse. The result is a delicately complex Chardonnay that embodies the house style of Vasse Felix

The 2024 vintage benefited from an early, warm spring and consistent summer conditions that produced perfectly ripened Chardonnay fruit with exceptional balance and vitality. This release shows great freshness with a super pleasant, well-preserved character and is already impressing critics, receiving 91 Points from Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion. Produced by legendary Margaret River winery Vasse Felix, rated 5 Red Stars by James Halliday, it exemplifies the benchmark quality of Margaret River Chardonnay.

This Chardonnay is a versatile food companion—pair it with seared scallops, grilled barramundi, roast chicken with lemon and herbs, or a creamy mushroom risotto, where its vibrant acidity and elegant texture elevate every dish.
