2022 Filius Cabernet Merlot

‘Son of’ the Vasse Felix Cabernet Sauvignon. A modern, regional blend with the elegance and structure of classic Cabernet in a bright, earlier drinking style. Generous portions of Merlot contribute to a succulent wine with approachable tannins.

 

Tasting Notes
COLOUR Translucent dark ruby. NOSE An elegant perfume of blackcurrant jam, raspberry pip and a hint of forest tree bark. Savoury notes of fresh focaccia with sundried tomatoes, dusty rosemary and traces of hot wet stone round out the fine fruit aroma. PALATE Deliciously soft and creamy with bright fruit and medium palate weight, it finishes fragrant, dry and powdery.

Vintage Notes
2022

A cool, winter-like spring saw vine growth delayed in development. Rainfall in October was significant. A dry and warm summer, with sustained warmth day and night through December, January and February, possibly influenced by another La Niña season, saw a rapid ripening  eriod for all white varieties, with all vineyards harvested in little over a month. Fruit quality was excellent with surprising delicacy and elegance. A low yielding vintage, primarily due to spring
conditions over the past two years. Warm and rapid veraison for reds in early February was ideal and saw the Cabernet’s desirable ripe flavours pronounce themselves quickly. Vine health remains fantastic, with fruit quality high and flavours concentrated.
