“My wife Edwina is a fourth generation Western Australian. Her ancestors, migrated from England and settled in Frankland River in the mid 1800s. They planted the first vines on the banks of the river in 1875. Im a first generation Australian. My uncles and aunts pressed grapes on their farms and in their backyards, and my own family at one time had a small vineyard, its clear where my interest in wine originated. We met in 1994, the same year I graduated with a degree in horticulture. As I was starting my work in wine, we were also embarking on our life journey.
Edwina and I purchased our first parcel of land in Frankland River in 2004 with dreams of planting our own vineyard. It was a small parcel that had originally been part of a large, historic land holding called Riversdale.
A few years later we had the opportunity to buy the neighbouring vineyard, and acres of prime river and vineyard country. We didnt hesitate as we knew its potential. Cherubino Wines began in our spare room in 2005 with the release of one wine.” – Larry Cherubino
Production
The fruit was hand-picked from the Riversdale vineyard in Frankland River, where the aspects are south-facing. The soil consists of gravel and laterite soils.
Made in a clay cement tank – a giant “egg”. There’s no added tannin, acid, or animal fining products. There is zero sulphur used throughout the winemaking, and only a minimal amount at bottling.
Tasting Notes
Long lingering acid. Lemon, ginger and citrus leaf flavours with a juicy texture.
