Cherubino Margaret River Chardonnay 2021 6x75cl

Aromas of roasted nuts, peach and sweet citrus blossom aromas and complex oak spices. Flavours of citrus, mineral salts and a fine, long acidity.

Vintage

A very challenging year with above average rainfall.Careful fruit selection and canopy management made all the difference with expressive white wines with longevity due to the long, slow ripening. The northern end of the Margert River, Wilyabrup and Yallingup experienced very different condition to the south. Reds are very perfumed and long in flavour with abundant tannins.

Winemaking

The fruit was hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed directly into 60% new French oak, 40% 1 year old French oak from a combination of forests –Vosges, Troncais and Allier. Juice naturally fermented in barrel with only10% allowed to go through full malolactic fermentation.
