Larry Cherubino Laissez Fiano 2022
Larry Cherubino Laissez Fiano is a sophisticated expression of the Fiano grape, crafted from select vineyards in Western Australia's cool-climate regions. The vines thrive in gravelly loam soils over clay, which contribute to the wine's distinctive minerality and layered complexity, creating a beautifully balanced, vibrant white wine that captures both varietal precision and regional character. Why You'll Love It This is Western Australian Fiano with real sophistication—crisp yet textural, vibrant, and beautifully balanced with distinctive minerality. Established by acclaimed winemaker Larry Cherubino, Cherubino Wines has earned international recognition for meticulously crafted, site-expressive wines. With a focus on minimal intervention and sustainable viticulture, this wine reflects the best of Western Australia's Great Southern and Margaret River regions. Hand-harvested at optimum ripeness and fermented in stainless steel with a portion matured on fine lees, this offers exceptional quality and complexity. Vineyard & Production Sourced from select vineyards in Western Australia's cool-climate regions where vines thrive in gravelly loam soils over clay, contributing distinctive minerality and layered complexity. Grapes are hand-picked in the cool early morning to retain freshness and aromatic intensity. After gentle pressing, the juice is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with a small portion aged on fine lees for several months. This approach preserves Fiano's natural vibrancy while adding creamy texture and savoury nuance. Tasting Notes Pale straw in colour with green highlights. The nose bursts with aromas of pear, citrus blossom, and lemon zest, layered with hints of almond and wet stone. The palate is crisp yet textural, showing flavours of ripe pear, grapefruit, and subtle honeyed tones, balanced by saline minerality and a long, elegant finish. Perfect Pairings Perfect alongside seafood dishes such as grilled prawns, seared scallops,
Te Pa The Reserve Collection Seaside Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Te Pa Reserve Seaside Sauvignon Blanc is a single-vineyard white wine of exceptional quality from the Wairau Bar Home Vineyard in Marlborough , New Zealand . Sourced from two of the vineyard's historically best-performing blocks, just 200 metres from the sea, this is a wine that carries the unmistakable imprint of its coastal terroir in every sip. Why You'll Love It This is Sauvignon Blanc at Reserve level, and it shows. The Seaside block's bony, sand and shingle soils produce fruit of remarkable precision, with a briny, saline character that is genuinely distinctive and utterly compelling. Blended with a smaller parcel from richer alluvial soils closer to the Wairau River, the result is a wine of real complexity and balance, generous yet restrained, exotic yet elegant. Vineyard and Production Two of the best-performing blocks at the Wairau Bar Home Vineyard were selected for this Reserve bottling, with additional yield and canopy management applied in the growing season. Seaside Block 4 (80%) runs parallel to the beach at just 200 metres from the sea. Its compositionally sandy and shingle soils, low in organic matter, produce fruit with bright acidity, citrus and floral notes, and a subtle, intriguing briny salinity. Block 2 (20%) sits approximately 1,200 metres from the beach, with rich alluvial soils that support a healthy canopy and contribute ripe, fleshy stone fruit and exotic flavours. Tasting Notes Ripe and generous on the nose, with aromas of stone fruit, guava and lychee, lifted by lovely citrus and floral elements that lend elegance and restraint. The palate is dry but full of fleshy fruit, with delicate exotic notes of gooseberry and passionfruit, finishing with a distinctive and appealing hint of coastal salinity. Perfect Pairings Outstanding as an aperitif and equally at home at the table. Pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, grilled fish, sushi, soft goat's cheese or a light Asian-inspired dish. The saline finish makes it a natural partner for oyster
