Great Southern

White Blend

This is a variety just starting to make an impact. It's from the Riversdale vineyard and was fermented in used oak. It has a pale copper-like colour. The nose is spicy with an apple and pear combo. On the palate you get a fine leaner profile but one revealing good intensity on its light frame. Nice aperitif wine.

Margaret River

Rose

Comes off the Willows vineyard in Margaret River. It's a lighter modern style of rose. The colour is pale blush. The nose is influenced by the floral grenache and a little oak. The palate, oh, the palate. Just gorgeous and so appealing with light red fruits supported with a touch of oak.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

A juicy cabernet from Margaret River. On the nose you get a mix of red fruits, backed with some nice mulberry and dark plummy blackberry nuances. It's medium bodied with good flavour intensity. The sprinkle of spices and a dusting of dry earth add to its palate feel.

Margaret River

Chardonnay

A lighter bodied chardonnay reflecting the fruit sourcing from down at Karridale south of Margaret River town. It's light with melon citrus characters on the nose overlaying some subtle almond meal complexity. The palate has a quince past and pear character with a citrus lift to finish. Fine and focused wine.

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This really is a super value-for-money chardonnay from a season that’s turned out pretty well for this variety. It was fermented and matured in French oak for about eight months and certainly picked up some lovely characters. On the nose, there’s a light fig and lemon combination, with a touch of quince paste, and then a distinctly mineral, savoury palate...

Margaret River

Shiraz

A balanced and poised juicy shiraz from Margaret River. Has a soft and quite supple mouthfeel with grainy tannins in support. Lots of dark fruits display a lifted spicy character with an infusion of cherry and gentle roasted coffee bean.

Margaret River

Grenache

A wine with distinctive red fruits displaying the virtues and characteristics of the two varieties. The cooler vintage suited the style, which is friendly and appealing. Ideal for current drinking. The medium-bodied palate is supported by light tannins and the oak influence is moderate. So, you can tuck in now.

Pemberton

Chardonnay

Runner-up White Wine of the Year 2024 A stunner from Cherubino capturing the essence of Pemberton. It comes from the excellent Channybearup vineyard. On the nose you get a flinty, grapefruit and honeysuckle nuance with deeper grapefruit and nectarine influences. The palate delivers with a degree of delicacy yet there is power here…real power that takes it through to a...

Pemberton

Chardonnay

Okay, I’ve tasted a few of these and I reckon this is the best. Great vintage, yes, but then the subtle winemaking has brought it to a new dimension. While bunch pressing and naturally fermented in new and used puncheons, which just takes the edge off the oak. The power of the Gingin clone is evident immediately. Lemon, quince and...

Pemberton

Chardonnay

A wonderful chardonnay that comes from the Channybearup Vineyard in Pemberton. Handpicked and then whole bunch pressed before natural fermentation in a new and old puncheon combination. Aromas of brioche and butterscotch with subtle cashew and lemon curd characters. The palate is powerfully stated with depth and intensity, driving through to a long finish.

Pemberton

Sauvignon Blanc

Cherubino Pemberton sauvignon blanc 2024 ($39) Cherubino sources this savvy from the excellent Channybearup Vineyard in Pemberton. It’s a lightly framed wine but has a delightful crunchy vibrancy with the influence of a small amount of barrel fermentation and three months in oak bringing it to life. Nice fine minerality with a lightly tropical, citrus and guava complexity. Nice wine....

Pemberton

Sauvignon Blanc

I’m not sure how Cherubino has made a wine of this quality in such a hot year. But here you go. A sauvignon blanc from Pemberton which was naturally fermented and matured in French oak for eight months. Nutty stone fruit aromas and then a palate where the balance between the oak and fruit nails it. Textured and rich with...

Pemberton

Sauvignon Blanc

I've been a bit of a fan of this wine since I first saw it a few years ago. It's made in the fumé style, which means after natural fermentation it was matured in French oak, in this case for 4 months, but at the same time it retains its fine linear freshness with a minerally citrus note on the...

Great Southern

Riesling

A pure and pristine expression of Frankland River riesling. The aromas of intense lemon zest with an edge of lime are distinctly riesling. The palate is intense with a crunchy lively minerality displaying a degree of classic riesling tension. Slightly powdery bath salts add a further dimension to an already crowded palate.

Pemberton

Sauvignon Blanc

A beautiful savvy from the Channybearup vineyard in Pemberton. Made in the fume style which means natural fermentation with maturation in oak for four months. There's a nutty fruit-driven aroma with a decent splash of citrus. The palate is generous and intense with a degree of complexity you expect from this fume style.

Great Southern

Shiraz

A wonderfully bright and vibrant shiraz from the Acacia Vineyard in Frankland River. You will fall in love with the perfumed sweet plummy aromatics with a trace of violet. Soft and slightly grainy palate is a joy with a fine chalky acidity and fine-grained tannin contributing to a palate coating layer of flavour.

Great Southern

Cabernet Sauvignon

There is a delightful varietal purity with this cabernet which comes off the Riversdale vineyard in Frankland River. The blackcurrant characters are complemented by a natural ironstone and slightly meaty characters. The palate is plush with a firm core of chalky tannins working harmoniously with the oak. Dark chocolate and plummy fruit add to the focused finish.

Pemberton

White Blend

This is pinot gris with a little difference. It's been partially fermented in oak so you get that textural richness to augment the steelier lean varietal characters of the pinot gris. Light and fine with an apple crumble and cut pear combo doing their thing.

Great Southern

Shiraz

Lots to chew on here. Immediately a mix of ironstone and dark plummy blackberry fruit emerges. The combination of the sweet fruit and a little spicy black pepper creates such a neatly aligned palate. In this case the Waldron, 470 and 174 clones are making an impact. Smooth and velvety.

Pemberton

Sauvignon Blanc

Crunchy apple and pear characters burst from the glass. This is savvy with a little extra, which comes from the partial barrel fermentation. Gee, it makes quite a difference, transforming that bright and fresh fruit savvy into a wine of great sophistication, but still a lot of fun.

Pemberton

Chardonnay

Sourced from Pemberton and shows that slightly lighter and more pristine character. It's made using a clay cement egg with the principle that the lees are constantly forced up allowing the juice to pick up flavour and mouth feel. It retains a delightfully light feel but with super intensity. An elegant wine with touches of lemon curd and quince gentle...

Great Southern

Cabernet Sauvignon

An interesting combination woven together with time in the concrete egg, which creates a vortex that moves the lees upwards, contributing to its plump full palate. Plenty of blackcurrant flavours with a dusty thread from the nebbiolo. The chalky tannins are finely integrated and the generous fruit flavours burst out. Plenty of appeal with that final tarry edge adding to...

Great Southern

Cabernet Sauvignon

The use of the concrete egg and its continual fruit circulation has allowed the firm cabernet and fleshier touriga to knit together into a plush velvety smooth red blend. Plummy black cherry dominance with a little black fruit pudding. Extra year in bottle has brought this baby into the world. Drinking so well.

Great Southern

Grenache

Yet another marvellous grenache from Frankland River. The energy and vitality evident immediately is remarkable. It has a lot to do with the cement ovoid egg that allows the lees to continually work through the fruit. It's fragrant with an engaging bouquet of rose petal and raspberry. The palate is pure joy.

Great Southern

Riesling

I do like this riesling. Cherubino makes it in a clay cement egg which creates a vortex to work the lees into the palate. Retains it pristine brightness but with the extra dimension of a textural palate. The mineral light citrus edge remains a fundamental part.

Margaret River

Cabernet Blend

A really stylish cabernet dominant blend from this excellent season. Has a leafy blackcurrant aroma with a little blackberry and rich fruit cake. The palate is still pretty tight, but it has excellent structure with a firm thread of tannins holding the line and supported by a decent hit of oak. Needs a little more time to begin to show...

Margaret River

Cabernet Blend

Probably the best release of this wine to date, which is no surprise given the outstanding year. A slightly cooler season has delivered finesse and elegance, while retaining intensity and fruit complexity. Aromas of red fruits with an underlay of blackcurrant and bay leaf lead into a palate with chalky, slightly minerally characters and a grainy texture. Balanced, refined and...

Margaret River

Cabernet Blend

Delivers a burst of bright red fruits on the nose, combining with the deeper, darker blackcurrant influences. Some nice florals with red-fruit lift. The palate is quite tightly woven, with a firm thread of tannin and oak surrounded by some plush fruit. A most complete and harmonious wine.

Margaret River

Shiraz

The trick with shiraz viognier is not to get carried away for the highly aromatic viognier. In this case the balance has been struck precisely and the influence is perfectly weighted. The two varieties were co-fermented then matured for 14 months. The nose has a lifted perfume reflecting the viognier with deep plummy notes. The palate is soft and generous...

Margaret River

Chenin Blanc

A wine which demonstrates the versatility of chenin, a variety which is increasingly being seen in sparkling wines these days. The colour is quite golden, but the aroma is fresh and lively with a roasted nut and butterscotch infusion into the light tropical notes. A little biscuit crumble emerges with a sliced apple and cinnamon combination.

Margaret River

Chenin Blanc

This is a different take on chenin blanc showing another way this excellent variety can be expressed. It was whole bunch pressed to French oak where it was wild fermented with regular lees stirring. It’s all designed to develop complexity and bring out a rich expression of chenin. Lemon zest and stone fruit with a sprinkle of spices. Like this...

Margaret River

Chenin Blanc

Another expression of chenin blanc showing just how versatile this variety is across regions. This one has been wild fermented in French oak and then left a further 10 months on lees with regular stirring to build texture and complexity. Yet it’s not overdone. The vibrant fruit intensity is retained, with typical tropical lemony zest still evident, but with added...

Margaret River

Chenin Blanc

The excellent quality of chenin has been maximised with this specific take on the variety. Wild fermentation in French oak, 10 months on lees and regular stirring have built in complexity, texture and added richness. The variety has excellent natural acidity, and that gives it the fine backbone on which the richer, plush stone fruit characters are based. A little...

Margaret River

White Varietal

This is such a versatile grape that Churchview has been working with for some time now. You can make it lean and mean if you like, but in this case, they've built some structure, texture and richness into the wine to great effect. Whole-bunch pressing into a mix of stainless steel and older puncheons has given it some structural integrity....

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

Bright, deep red in colour. The nose reveals black raisiny fruits with plummy blackcurrant nuances, and the palate sits in that medium-bodied zone with good fruit intensity and drive. Neatly balanced fine chalky tannins and gently applied oak create a smooth, seamless impression. A slightly grainy texture adds appeal and makes it a fine food wine.

Margaret River

White Blend

Fresh, racy, zippy, and crunchy. This is your quintessential SBS from Margaret River. From organically grown fruit it shows lovely brightness on the nose with crunchy passionfruit and citrus. The palate picks up a little more lemony tang, retaining its vibrant energy through to the finish. Clean and crisp with fine acidity.

Margaret River

Red Blend

Each of these varieties was handled separately until blending. They come together on the blending table after oak maturation to create something of a house style. Smooth and intense with stacks of ripe red and black fruits with a little dark chocolate and black olive complexity.

Margaret River

Shiraz

Deeply concentrated and intense shiraz with a decent contribution from the viognier. It seems to have boosted the tannins while contributing to the beautiful, perfumed aromas. A lift of violet and apricot with a faint touch of viognier's varietal gingery character. The palate is firm but fleshy with a smooth textured feel.

Margaret River

Chenin Blanc

Chenin blanc can take on so many forms, from the crisp and fruity to something quite different like this one which has been made with wild fermentation techniques in oak. It builds on the natural bright lemon characters of the variety and introduces a creamy richness. This is a cracking example of that opulent style.

Margaret River

Fortified

You can make this Rhone variety in a few ways; lean and austere or riper and more generous. This falls into the more generous category with the wild fermentation in oak contributing to its appealing textural mouth feel. Bright lemony aromas with a creamy texture, cut with a lime zest edge. Excellent.
