Vasse Felix 'Filius' Chardonnay 2017 Review
A nice entry from Australia with good balance and bracing acidity, promoting aromas of green apple and lemon. The palate has a nice mineral grip to it from the acidity, keeping everything in check. There is a touch of oak but it’s woven in. The price is easy enough that if you want to branch out and grab this one instead of your normal bottle, it’s doable.
