Vasse Felix Filius Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

Product Description:
Margaret River Cabernet with youthful verve and savoury depth.

The 2023 Filius Cabernet Sauvignon is Vasse Felix’s modern take on a regional icon—bright-fruited, finely structured and made with the same quality-first mindset that defines the estate’s top wines. A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon with dashes of Malbec and Petit Verdot, it’s built for earlier enjoyment but doesn’t skimp on complexity.

Wild fermented and matured for 11 months in seasoned French oak, Filius is a study in vibrant fruit and savoury restraint. Expect layers of blackcurrant, bay leaf, charcuterie, and nori, with a supple line of acid and graphite-like tannins that speak clearly of its Margaret River origins.

Drink now for its plushness and punch, or cellar for up to a decade to enjoy the evolution of its brooding core.
