Larry Cherubino Pedestal Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
Larry Cherubino Pedestal Cabernet Sauvignon is a benchmark expression of Margaret River Cabernet, one of Australia's most celebrated wine regions and arguably the country's finest source for the variety. Crafted by Larry Cherubino, widely regarded as one of Western Australia's most talented and meticulous winemakers, Pedestal is the entry point into the Cherubino range and consistently over-delivers on quality, structure, and elegance for its price. Why You'll Love It Larry Cherubino has built his reputation on a singular commitment to terroir-driven winemaking across Western Australia's finest sub-regions. Margaret River's unique maritime climate, moderated by the Indian Ocean to the west and the Southern Ocean to the south, produces Cabernet Sauvignon of remarkable natural balance: ripe, structured, and fragrant, with the kind of cassis-driven fruit and fine-grained tannins that make it one of the world's great Cabernet regions. Pedestal captures all of that at an accessible price point. Vineyard & Production Sourced from carefully selected vineyards in Margaret River, Western Australia. Crafted with the precision and attention to detail that defines everything Larry Cherubino produces. Tasting Notes Classic Margaret River Cabernet, fragrant blackcurrant and cassis on the nose, with cedar, bay leaf, and a hint of dark chocolate. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, elegant finish. Structured for the medium term but very approachable now. Perfect Pairings A natural partner for roast lamb, beef fillet, duck breast, and aged hard cheeses. Also excellent with slow-braised red meats and hearty pasta dishes.

Tabali Vetas Blancas Pinot Noir 2023
Tabalí Vetas Blancas Pinot Noir is an elegant, cool-climate red from the Limarí Valley, balancing vibrant fruit with striking minerality. Sourced from the Talinay and Espinal vineyards, this wine reflects the region’s unique calcareous and alluvial soils, producing a Pinot Noir of finesse, structure, and expressive character. Hand-harvested at optimal ripeness and carefully vinified, it delivers freshness, depth, and a delicate yet complex profile. Meet the producer Established in 2002, Viña Tabalí is a pioneering winery on the edge of the Atacama Desert, celebrated for terroir-driven wines that capture the distinctive character of northern and central Chile. Production 30% of the grapes come from the Talinay vineyard, 12km from the Pacific Ocean, where constant cool sea breezes create lower temperatures than the rest of the valley. Talinay’s calcareous soils, formed from ancient marine terraces, provide excellent drainage and a rich source of calcium carbonate. The remaining 70% comes from the Espinal vineyard, planted on stony alluvial terraces with clay layers and veins of limestone dust. Grapes are hand-harvested into 20kg bins, carefully selected, and destemmed before an 8-day cold soak at 8°C. Alcoholic fermentation occurs in small stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, followed by a 3-day post-fermentation maceration. The wine is then aged for 12 months in French oak barrels to enhance structure, complexity, and elegance. Tasting notes Bright and delicate, this Pinot Noir displays aromas of raspberry and subtle spice. On the palate, flavours of fresh summer fruit, strawberries, and raspberries are complemented by gentle hints of oak spice and graphite. The wine’s minerality, derived from the region’s limestone soils, provides structure and length, making it both expressive and refined. Food match Pairs beautifully with roast lamb, autumnal stews, or hearty risotto. Grape Pinot Noir 100%
