The 2024 Vasse Felix Filius Cabernet Sauvignon is a vibrant Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon with a small addition of Malbec, crafted to highlight the region's hallmark elegance and freshness. Produced by Vasse Felix, Australia's founding Margaret River winery, this contemporary style opens with aromas of blackberry, raspberry and cherry, complemented by savoury notes of dried herbs, wet stone and subtle cedar from French oak maturation.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with bright fruit, fine dusty tannins and lively natural acidity. Flavours of blackcurrant, mulberry and red berries are layered with hints of spice and earthy complexity, creating a polished wine with a long, dry finish. Wild fermentation and careful maturation in French oak add texture while preserving the wine's youthful vibrancy.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Margaret River Cabernet for those who enjoy elegant, approachable reds with classic regional character. Enjoy now with a short decant or cellar through 2034. Pair with grilled rib-eye, roast lamb, mushroom risotto, beef burgers or mature cheddar.
