2022 Cherubino Dijon Clone M.River Chardonnay
Tasting notes:
The 2021 Cherubino Dijon Clone Margaret River Chardonnay is a standout expression of Western Australia’s winemaking prowess. It presents a pale straw color in the glass, hinting at its youthful vibrancy. The nose is vibrant and complex, offering aromas of citrus fruits like lemon and grapefruit, alongside hints of white peach and nectarine. Subtle notes of flint, minerality, and a touch of oak add depth and sophistication. On the palate, this Chardonnay is medium to full-bodied with a creamy texture, showcasing flavors of ripe citrus, tropical fruits, and a subtle nuttiness from oak aging. The acidity is well-balanced, providing freshness and enhancing the fruit flavors, while a pronounced minerality reflects the terroir of Margaret River. The finish is long and elegant, with lingering notes of citrus and stone fruits. This wine is enjoyable now but has the potential to develop further complexity over the next 3-5 years. It pairs beautifully with seafood, poultry, creamy pasta dishes, and soft cheeses, making it a versatile choice for various dining experiences.
