TASTING NOTES FOR Cherubino Laissez Faire Field Blend Western Australia 2017
🍷 Appearance
Pale straw with a slight golden tint. Naturally bright with a lightly hazy, unfiltered look typical of minimal-intervention winemaking.
👃 Aromas
Highly aromatic and exotic, with lifted citrus, passionfruit and rosewater layered over pear, nougat and Turkish delight. A distinct floral and mineral edge adds intrigue.
👅 Palate
Textural and expressive, delivering citrus, pear and stone fruit with a gentle tropical lift. The palate is soft and flowing, with a natural, unforced feel that reflects its hands-off winemaking.
🍈 Texture & Finish
Smooth and slightly creamy with a refined, natural texture. The finish is dry and gently gripping, with subtle acidity providing balance and length.
🍇 Overall Style
A natural, minimal-intervention field blend—aromatic, textural and slightly wild. Made with a “laissez-faire” philosophy (no additions or adjustments), it delivers purity, individuality and a true expression of site and variety.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with shared plates, charcuterie, grilled vegetables or lightly spiced dishes. Also excellent with seafood or as a conversation-starting aperitif.
🥂 BBD Verdict
A seriously interesting, left-field wine—textural, aromatic and full of personality. A standout for mixed dozens when you want something different that sparks conversation and delivers genuine drinking interest.
Cheers
