The Vasse Felix Filius Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2024 is a vibrant, textural white from one of Australia’s most iconic wineries. In the glass, it shines pale straw with a green tinge. The bouquet is complex and exotic, bursting with aromas of yuzu, preserved lemon, mango skin, and a floral–herbal lift of milk thistle, earl grey tea, and bouquet garni. On the palate, it is soft and light yet beautifully structured, showing a delicate balance between freshness and texture. Gentle tanginess from skin contact lingers into a subtle finish of tonic water, mango skin and green tea.

Crafted with refined winemaking techniques, this wine highlights the natural power and aromatic lift of Sauvignon Blanc balanced by the delicacy of Semillon. A small proportion of Sauvignon Blanc fermented entirely on skins adds structure and savoury depth, while fermentation in French oak introduces additional texture. Wild ferment contributes further complexity and vineyard expression, creating a wine with a solid core and true Margaret River character.

The 2024 vintage was early and fast-paced, with warm, dry conditions and excellent vine health producing pristine fruit. Harvest began in mid-January, with Sauvignon Blanc showing ripe, vibrant flavours. Despite slightly lower yields, quality was exceptional across the board.

Critically acclaimed, this release has already been awarded 95 Points by Jane Faulkner of Halliday Wine Companion, reinforcing Vasse Felix’s reputation as a 5 Red Star Halliday-rated winery. Established in 1967, Vasse Felix remains one of Margaret River’s legendary producers.

The Filius Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2024 is superb with freshly shucked oysters, grilled barramundi, Thai fish cakes, or a goat’s cheese salad, where its aromatic lift and textural complexity shine alongside delicate yet vibrant dishes.
