  • Goedhuis Waddesdon, April 2025

    The Gingin clone and Margaret River are a match made in heaven, and from the low yielding vineyard of Ovale Willows in 2023, this is a gem. A cooler vintage, lending a pleasing leanness and focus to the wine this year. The nose is beautifully balanced, with an inviting spiciness and blossom note, backed with a mouthwatering grapefruit pithiness. Weightier on the palate, with hints of roasted almonds, ripe peaches and pear, followed by a bracing sea spray salinity. This is absolutely delicious, and dangerously drinkable. It's hard not to draw comparisons to Burgundy—there’s an Old World soul to this wine, elegantly dressed in New World style. Tasted blind, you might mistake it for a brilliant Chassagne-Montrachet, though offered at a far more approachable price point.

  • Wine Advocate, July 2024, Score: 94

    The 2023 Gingin Willows Vineyard Chardonnay leads with white pepper and crushed nuts, white peach and lanolin, spring florals and a hint of sandalwood. In the mouth, the wine is precise, quiet and talcy, with musk and spearmint, almond meal and roasted hazelnuts. There is a hint of buttery popcorn on the nose. Green apples and pears color the finish. This is a nice wine from a lovely, mild, season in Margaret River. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Producer

Larry Cherubino

Larry Cherubino, a first-generation Australian with deep Italian roots, has become a luminary in Western Australia's wine industry. His journey began in horticulture, leading to pivotal roles at Tintara and Houghton wineries, as well as international consulting stints across New Zealand, the USA, South Africa, France, and Italy. In 2004, Larry and his wife, Edwina, acquired land in Frankland River, a region tied to Edwina's ancestors, who planted vines there in 1875. This purchase marked the inception of Cherubino Wines, with their first release in 2005. Today, Cherubino Wines spans over 120 hectares across six sustainably farmed vineyards in Frankland River, Pemberton, and Margaret River. The diverse plantings include varieties such as Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Fiano, and Mencía, reflecting Larry's commitment to expressing the unique terroirs of Western Australia. His meticulous approach in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the winery have earned the estate accolades, including being named Australian Winery of the Year in 2023.

Region

Margaret River

Certainly the best wine area in Western Australia, if not the whole country. The idyllic scenery of Margaret River (surf-lapped rocky coast, towering karri forest, abundant wildlife) has only been home to wine production since the 1970s. Hard to believe given the quality of the Chardonnays and Cabernets produced by the likes of Leeuwin, Cullen, Moss Wood and Vasse Felix. Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon all also thrive here. The climate is mild, tempered by the Indian Ocean and the drying wind known as the Freemantle Doctor, and infertile red loam soils are the most sought after for viticulture.
