Tasting: This Chardonnay captures the very essence of what Margaret River Chardonnay is highly regarded for while simutaneaously including a modern palate. Great fruit expression with creamy stone fruit and fresh apple melded with bright citrus with a hint of tropical fruit. Rich mouthfeel and rounded palate siplaying hints of vanilla and butterscotch. Winemaking:Mostle machine harvested at night with some early morning handpicked fruit. Pressed into stainless steel tanks to settle, then racked to barrel while still hazy for wild ferment, allowing natural expression. Aged in a mix of old and new French barrels, with some lees stirring to build up texture and creaminess. Barrels carefully selected and blended to create the desired Chardonnay.

Vibrant mid gold with green hues. Restrained nose with gentle citrus and white nectarine, flint and sweet integrated oak. The palate is silky and voluptuous with layers of stone fruit, vanillin oak, flint and a lively acidity for balance and length.

The 2024 Pedestal Chardonnay from Margaret River, crafted by the renowned Larry Cherubino Wines in Western Australia, is a true masterpiece. A pale straw hue with golden highlights greets the eye, hinting at the wine's complexity and depth. On the nose, aromas of ripe peach, tropical fruits, and vanilla mingle with a touch of oak. The palate is full-bodied and creamy, with flavours of juicy pineapple, buttery toast, and a subtle hint of citrus. The judicious use of oak adds a delightful layer of complexity and structure. The finish is long and elegant, leaving a lingering impression of ripe fruits and a touch of minerality. This Chardonnay is a true expression of Margaret River's terroir, showcasing the region's ability to produce exceptional wines. Enjoy now or cellar for further development. Pair with roasted chicken, seafood risotto, or a creamy cheese platter for a truly indulgent experience.
