The 2023 Vasse Felix Filius Shiraz from Margaret River is a true delight for the senses. This vintage from the renowned Western Australian winery is a deep ruby red in colour, with a rich and vibrant hue that hints at the intensity of the wine within.
On the nose, the wine offers a tantalizing bouquet of blackberries, dark cherries, and plums, accented by subtle notes of black pepper and vanilla. On the palate, these aromas are accompanied by a velvety smooth texture and a complex flavor profile of ripe dark fruits, cloves, and a touch of dark chocolate. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a balanced structure and a long, satisfying finish.
Elegant and full-bodied, the 2023 Vasse Felix Filius Shiraz is a testament to the exceptional winemaking skills of Vasse Felix. It is a wine that will continue to evolve and improve with age, making it a worthy addition to any wine cellar.

Great value, even greater wine. It offers squishy blue-black plums and blackberries, doused in pepper and baking spices with some dried Aussie bush mint and ironstone. Mid-weight, shapely tannins and a vibrancy to the acidity make this tip-top today and better with time.

Captures everything you could ask for from an approachable, easy-drinking shiraz. From a year when fleshy fruit and succulent palates were features. Earthy dark plum with a fine mineral thread. Oak and fruit balance perfectly, and the medium-bodied palate delivers long and pure. Love it.
