TASTING NOTES FOR Cherubino Sauvignon Blanc Pemberton Western Australia 2024

🍷 Appearance
Pale straw with bright green-gold highlights. Clear and luminous in the glass, showing freshness and youthful vibrancy.

👃 Aromas
Complex and refined, with citrus, white stone fruit and subtle herbal notes layered with nuttiness, mineral characters and finely integrated French oak.

👅 Palate
Rich and beautifully composed, delivering lemon, ripe stone fruit and savoury nutty flavours. Natural fermentation and maturation in French oak add impressive depth and complexity, while fine acidity keeps the palate focused and fresh.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Textural and layered with excellent weight through the mid-palate. The oak is well integrated, providing structure without overwhelming the fruit, leading to a long, precise and gently nutty finish.

🍇 Overall Style
A sophisticated Pemberton Sauvignon Blanc that moves well beyond the simple, fruit-driven style. Rich, textural and complex, with excellent balance between fruit, oak and acidity. The 2024 was naturally fermented and matured in French oak for eight months.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Excellent with grilled scallops, prawns, roast snapper, salmon, roast chicken or creamy seafood dishes. Its texture and savoury complexity also make it a fine match with soft cheeses.

⭐ BBD Verdict
An impressive, serious expression of Sauvignon Blanc with genuine depth and class. The combination of Pemberton fruit, restrained oak and fine acidity delivers richness without sacrificing freshness. A standout Australian Sauvignon Blanc with excellent length and complexity.
