Cherubino Dijon Wychwood Vineyard Karridale chardonnay 2024

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 quite fine and delicate, yet it's Margaret River, so there's power and characters of quince paste and butterscotch with some nice spicy minerality and a steely thread. All comes together to focus and define this excellent wine.
