Vasse Felix Filius Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Vasse Felix Filius Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

The individual batches were destemmed and sent as whole berries to stainless steel rotating fermenters. 100% wild yeast was allowed to ferment all our red batches. After a few days in 
a gentle soak, fermentation kicked off, with batches pressed once fermentation was complete. Open top and use of aeration during fermentation helped to promote a clean fruit perfume, soften the tannins and bring so much life to the wine. The resulting wines were matured in fine French oak for 11 months prior to blending, with limited racking to help preserve the delicate wild characters captured in this low intervention approach.

Deep garnet with a ruby red tinge and shows a nose of lovely blood plum and cassis fragrance, with graphite, bay laurel, violets, spicy charcuterie, and a hint of bouquet garni 
mixed with cedar. The palate is incredibly soft, juicy and approachable with intense dark 
fruit flavour. Silken berry puree with fresh fruit acidity and a soft powdery dry tannin finish with lingering cassis and dark chocolate flavours.
