2024 Vasse Felix Filius Chardonnay

Western Australia · Margaret River

Western Australia makes a small share of Australia's crush and an outsized share of its fine wine. Margaret River, cooled on two sides by ocean, is the best known: Cabernet Sauvignon of real structure, taut Chardonnay, and the crisp Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon blends the region made its name on. Inland and further south, the Great Southern subregions of Frankland River and Mount Barker add dry Riesling and peppery Shiraz.
