Western Australia

Red Blend

This is such a pretty wine. The cooler vintage has contributed to its elegance and charm. Opens with a perfumed African violet and red berry combination on the nose. And then the palate provides such an exquisitely integrated, balanced mix of bright and lively red fruits with the support of fine, silky tannins and perfectly weighted oak.

Pemberton

Pinot Noir

This is a beautifully expressive Pemberton pinot loaded with bright red fruits displaying a fresh strawberry and confectionery raspberry coulis type of combination. A light to medium-bodied wine, but there is palate intensity here that carries through to sustain an impressive finish. Nice short-term wine.

Pemberton

Chardonnay

A delightfully fruit and flavoursome chardonnay designed for drinking in the short term. Lifted melon and citrus with a gentle hint of vanilla bean on the nose. The palate has a slight butterscotch and lemon curd richness with the crisp acid taking through to a crunchy vibrant finish.

Pemberton

Chardonnay

This is a more generously flavoured chardonnay, with a ripe melon, vanilla pod and citrussy lemon meringue-like character. Comes from Pemberton and reveals rather beautiful fruit character initially on the nose and then on the palate. A little butterscotch and lemon curd add further complexity.

Pemberton

Pinot Grigio

If you’re into your pinot grigio then this little guy is just the ticket. Has a slightly pinkish colour which you can get with this variety. Spicy apple and pear with a little crumbly biscuit on the nose. The palate has is textured with the crisp acid sustaining a clean finish.

Pemberton

Pinot Grigio

This pretty much overlays the blueprint for this variety. Sourced from the cool Pemberton region, it retains a fresh, crunchy acidity. Loaded with a typical varietal combination of apple and pear crumble, and just a little stone fruit richness. But it retains its fine delicacy.

Great Southern

Red Blend

Pretty hard to go past this blend of counoise, mataro and touriga from the Great Southern. Perfumed floral notes with a slightly spicy character. It’s medium-bodied with a delightfully soft and supple palate supported by a fine thread of tannins. Has a lip-smacking crunchy finish. Ideal in the short term.

Western Australia

White Blend

This is a bright and crunchy little blend of gewürztraminer, riesling and pinot grigio from Pemberton, which in this warmer year delivered some very nice fruit qualities, thanks to its cooler locale. The traminer picks up the spiciness and light lychee notes of the variety, especially on the nose. But it all comes together neatly into a controlled, linear palate,...

Frankland River

White Blend

A neat little blend of three varieties, with the traminer bringing a distinctive spicy edge, the riesling the citrus tang and the pinot grigio a little apple and pear crumble. It’s clean and crisp with a nice minerally lemon and rose petal nuance. Lovely current drinking.

Western Australia

Chardonnay

This is quite a beautiful wine and, when you look at the quality, great value for money. Aromas of citrus and melon, with a subtle vanilla pod and crème brûlée nuance. A textured palate delivers subtle complexity with a crunchy, melony, mealy character and a subtle savoury finish. Well-composed wine.

Margaret River

Shiraz

A super value for money shiraz sourced from the Great Southern. Typically, soft and generous with medium body. Plush plum and spices with a little cracked black pepper. The oak is muted to allow the fruit to express itself.

Frankland River

Shiraz

A delicious wine packed with ripe blackberries, plum, spices, and chocolate. It is well-poised with fine silky tannins and fine-grained oak, offering a lovely long finish. It’s a wine that offers so much and delivers well beyond its price point. Just love the textural grainy palate with its punchy, vibrant red fruits.

Pemberton

Pinot Grigio

The colour is the palest copper tone, which comes from this variety. It’s from Pemberton and is brimming with lovely apple, pear and citrus notes on the nose, leading into a palate that is keen, crisp and quite refreshing. While it’s crunchy and lively, there’s also a nice textural feel that brings added complexity to the wine. It’s a nice...

Great Southern

Riesling

An intense aroma of spices and tart lemon greet on the nose. The palate is laced with minerally citrus fruit delivering a tangy crunchy mouth feel. Fresh as a daisy and ideal as a current drinking wine of great value.

Great Southern

Cabernet Sauvignon

Beautiful South, indeed. Comes off the Riversdale vineyard using a mix of different clones for the cabernet sauvignon, malbec and merlot. A thoroughly deliciously engaging red blend offering plush bright fruit flavours augmented by some gentle oak treatment and supported by a fine thread of tannin. The textural feel in the mouth is sublime.

Great Southern

Red Blend

The combination of separate parcels and clones has been brought together here with cabernet, merlot and malbec off the Riversdale property combining into an exceptionally stylish and flavoursome wine. Lifted aromas of black fruits, blackberry and bay leaf lead into a palate delivering richer dark chocolate and black fruit combinations, seamlessly integrated with fine oak and minerally tannins. Everything sits...

Frankland River

Red Blend

After a somewhat slow start as a result of the cool vintage, these ’21s have really started to hit their straps with the extra time in bottle, and here is the perfect example. It’s from that Riversdale Vineyard again. On the nose, you get a mix of blackcurrant, ironstone and a little vanilla pod. The palate has a varietal purity...

Great Southern

Cabernet Sauvignon

Silky smooth and elegant cabernet from the special Block 6 within the Riversdale Vineyard. There is an ethereal aroma here of violet and red fruit with a cedary blackcurrant overlay. Once you reach the palate you are in a heady zone. Refined and graceful lines based on fine chalky tannins and a liberal well managed use of oak carry the...

Frankland River

Cabernet Sauvignon

This is an exquisite and poised example of Frankland River cabernet sauvignon. It comes off the specific Block 6 on the Riversdale property, which consistently produces outstanding fruit. The nose displays a lovely red and black fruit combination, while the palate presents with a slightly lighter body, although still concentrated and immensely powerful, delivering an effortless, elegant, and refined finish....

Frankland River

Cabernet Sauvignon

This is a top-drawer cabernet from Cherubino. It comes from a specific block in the Riversdale Vineyard in Frankland River. After handpicking, it was left on skins for two months before maturation in new and one-year-old French oak. So it’s had plenty of time to pick up the colour, concentration and structure that you want with high-class cabernets. Despite all...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

Highly perfumed Margaret River cabernet that provides a point of difference to the excellent '19. This delivers a velvety smooth palate deep with rich and opulent fruit flavour from this highly concentrated vintage. It is quite effortless as it takes you through the mid-palate and into a stunning long finish. The tannin and oak work on the palate is superb....

Margaret River

Chardonnay

As the name suggests, the chardonnay for this excellent wine comes from several blocks along Caves Road in the Wilyabrup, Karridale and Wallcliffe sub-regions. It's immediately apparent that there's plenty of verve and vitality in this finely structured yet still powerful expression of chardonnay. The aromas of florals, quince paste and grapefruit merge into the palate, which has a crunchy,...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

Superb chardonnay showcasing all that is good with this variety in Margaret River. Aromas of quince, mustard and lemon zest with a grapefruit edge. The palate shows the richness developed from barrel fermentation. The fine grapefruit and crunchy minerality are sustained to a very long finish. A powerful wine of great class.

Pemberton

Chardonnay

The difference of region and vineyard, and for that matter clones, is immediately apparent on the nose. It's made using selected parcels of Dijon clones 95, 96 and 76 from the established Channybearup Vineyard in Pemberton. Once again, it's made along the same lines as each of the others in this range, but it shows a different character, and that's...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This is made using specifically the Dijon clone, and it comes from the Wychwood Vineyard in Karridale. So even in what was a fairly warm year, it's with cooler fruit, and so there's a fineness about it. Whole bunch of pressing was used before it went into a mix of new and one-year-old oak barrels for about 10 months. It's...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

Just starting to hit its straps. Most of the ‘19s seem to take that little extra time to come together and release their full potential. This is one of those. It's off the Pedestal Vineyard in Margaret River. Typical blackcurrant and leafy graphite and black olive nuances. The palate is generous and full, with a dark chocolate and black fruit...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

This is a blend of cabernet, malbec and cab franc from the Pedestal vineyard in Margaret River. It's a soft and quite supple wine of excellent aromatics with the perfumed influence of the cab franc quite evident. Has a chewy chocolate richness with supple tannins in support. Nice wine.

South West

Cabernet Sauvignon

A mighty impressive wine for this price. Soft and generous medium-bodied blend from fruit out of the South-West. Plenty of black fruit with a richer plummy pudding contribution from the merlot. Supple and friendly mouthfeel makes for excellent drinking at a great price.

South West

Chardonnay

Plenty to like about his value chardonnay sourced from vineyards in the South-West of the State. It's creamy with a lemony citrus tang and light melon character. Ever so light touch of oak so you are getting a pure fruit influence.

Western Australia

Chardonnay

Cherubino Folklore chardonnay 2025 ($17) Light, to medium-bodied chardonnay, but one that has good fruit weight and flavour intensity. It captures the edgy citrus and white peach notes of the variety on the nose, and then delivers with a slightly creamy texture, brimming with stone fruit and a sprinkle of spices to lift. Nice, fine acidity sustains the focus. Score:...

Western Australia

White Blend

Captures the brightness and flavours of the ’26 vintage very nicely. Aromas immediately strike with a strong citrus-passionfruit combination, with a little melon. The palate is punchy and flavoursome, with crisp acidity and a nice edge of lime cutting through to the finish. Ideal as a current-drinking wine.

Great Southern

Cabernet Sauvignon

A glorious example of Frankland cabernet. The varietal notes of blackcurrant and a little black olive are beautifully infiltrated by that regional ironstone character. The palate is a powerhouse with a firm core of new and one-year-old oak working with the firm chalky tannins to carry effortlessly through to a sustained finish. Still quite tight at the moment but extended...

Frankland River

Cabernet Sauvignon

Here's a wine that expresses so much about the Riversdale Vineyard and Frankland River. Loads of blackcurrant fruit, ironstone, liqueur cherry and dark chocolate provide a compelling aromatic beginning, then the palate reveals power, concentration and balance. The astute, restrained use of oak allows the fruit quality to shine. That touch of savoury ironstone, almost rusty nail, on the palate...

Frankland River

Nebbiolo

I've become a bit of a fan of nebbiolo in recent years, finding its structure, palate weight and complexity engaging. The issue has always been managing the tannins, and this is probably why, in this case, after hand-picking and sorting, it’s been given 100 days on skins before maturation in foudres. This has allowed the tannins to integrate perfectly, which...

Frankland River

Riesling

I suspected this might be a pretty good riesling from this region and this vintage. Well, I got it right. A pristine and pure riesling with notes of lemon zest and talcy bath salts. The palate is where this cracking wine really excels. It has a fine texture with tremendous intensity and vibrancy. Minerally, with spicy lemon characters. There’s a...

Frankland River

Riesling

Beautiful, just beautiful. Intense aromas of lemon zest and bath salts lift immediately on the nose. The fruit is sourced from the two best blocks on the Riversdale Vineyard. The palate has a crunchy vibrancy with a lively flow that bounces off the slaty wet pebble character. Precise and pure with tremendous cellaring potential.

Great Southern

Shiraz

The elegance and charm of this vintage in Frankland River is immediately evident. Much of the finesse refinement comes from the use of the new Waldron, 470 and 174 clones. It is a sumptuous shiraz that draws on the beautifully fragrant and flavoursome fruit of this region. Ironstone and spicy plummy fruit flavours with chocolate coating to complete. A crowd...

Frankland River

Shiraz

A thoroughly beautiful and quite pretty shiraz from the Riversdale vineyard in Frankland with these special clones 174, 470 and Waldron, which were introduced a few years ago. It’s silky smooth and plush but there is structure in here with fine chalky tannin and little ironstone with persistent flavours that build relentlessly. A wine of tremendous luminosity and brightness.

Frankland River

Shiraz

Gosh, this is a good wine made from the 174, 470 and Waldron clones now being grown on the Riversdale Vineyard. After time on skins for about two months, it was matured in new and one-year-old French oak. It has tremendous concentration and richness, yet presents with the soft, rounded regional structure and opulent flavours. Aromas of plush plum, cherry...

Frankland River

Shiraz

This is the pinnacle of Cherubino's range of shiraz or syrah. Comes off the Riversdale vineyard from Block 7 which is made up of a variety of different clones. Interestingly, after hand picking and sorting, 30% whole clusters were added to bring out more of the spicy fragrances. It was matured in a mix of French oak, foudre, and puncheons...
