Margaret River Chardonnay

BBQ Crayfish

Low rainfall and warm temperatures in spring resulted in a very early harvest. All varietals performed exceptionally well with the standout being Cabernet Sauvignon.

The fruit was hand-picked and whole-bunched pressed directly into 60% new French oak, 40% 1 year old French oak from a combination of forests - Vosges, Troncais and Allier. Juice naturally fermented in barrel with only 10% allowed to go through full malolactic fermentation.

Former ‘Winery of the Year’ by James Halliday and Matt Skinner, Larry Cherubino wants his wines to be distinctive and to speak clearly of their variety and vineyard site. He believes in paying meticulous attention to the vineyard, canopy and water management, picking at the right time and minimal intervention in the winery. Larry also makes wine under the Laissez Faire label, an exquisite range of natural wines which are the ultimate expression of site, made in small batches from hand-harvested grapes. From delicate whites to opulent reds, all his wines have pure class and finesse.
