Cherubino Sauvignon Blanc 2010 Pemberton is 10% fermented in new French oak and matured for 3 months, giving complex oak derived spices with underlying nettle, currant leaf and wet stone aromas. The wine has a soft, gentle texture with fine persistent acidity which carries the flavours along the palate. The finish is dominated by nettle and currant leaf flavours.
James Halliday named Western Australia’s Larry Cherubino Wines as the winery of the year in his 2011 Australian Wine Companion.
The boutique producer stood out from almost 1500 other wineries to take out the top spot in Australia’s most definitive wine guide, with Halliday scoring all of the Larry Cherubino Wines over 94 points.
Matt Skinner also gave top honours to Larry Cherubino Wines in his 2011 Matt Skinner’s Wine Guide, naming it as the top producer of the year.
Larry Cherubino is undoubtedly one of Australia’s most acclaimed winemakers, with extensive experience in large and small wineries in Australia and major overseas wine producing regions, and around 300 wine show medals attached to his extensive CV.
He is renowned for his passionate commitment to maximising wine quality in both vineyard and winery, his state of the art technical knowledge and for having a highly developed understanding of modern wine styles. A graduate of Roseworthy College, Larry had a distinguished career with BRL Hardy at Tintara in South Australia and then at Houghton in Western Australia, where his wines won hundreds of awards in the highly competitive Australian and International wine show system.
A few years ago Larry and his partner Edwina started their own range of wines based on Western Australian vineyards, under the Ad Hoc, The Yard and Cherubino labels. Larry also operates a winemaking consulting business, working with wineries in Australia, New Zealand and the USA.
