Margaret River experiences a Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and cool, wet winters. However, the cooling influences of the Indian and Southern Oceans moderate temperatures during the growing season. The well-draining, gravelly soils, particularly prevalent in the Wilyabrup subregion where Vasse Felix is situated, are exceptionally well suited to Cabernet Sauvignon.
Guided by chief winemaker Virginia Willcock, Vasse Felix crafts wines that authentically express the nuances of Margaret River. Their meticulous approach and commitment to quality have earned Vasse Felix a prominent status in the Australian wine scene, seamlessly blending tradition, innovation, and the distinctiveness of the region.
Tasting Note
Born as the 'son of' the winery's premium wines, the Filius range adheres to Vasse Felix's commitment to quality, providing outstanding value without compromising excellence. This Cabernet is bright and fruit-forward with a savoury touch, stemming from the minty herbaceousness of Margaret River. Expect expressive black currant and blackberry fruit balanced by a deft touch of oak.
