Chardonnay Uovo, Cherubino 2024

The 2024 Uovo Chardonnay is savory, textural and salty, with chalky phenolics that really grip the core of fruit. This has a creamy nuttiness about it that is typical of the Cherubino house style (and we love it for that), but the impact of the concrete egg here is a tightening of texture and shape through the finish. This is an excellent wine, one that comes highly recommended. The fruit is from Pemberton, a cool and wet area in Western Australia's Southern Forest area—a place of towering Karri trees and adjacent to the best growing area for truffles in Australia, Manjimup. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
