2024 Pedestal Shiraz, Margaret River

This is a perfumed Shiraz with red fruited aromas sprinkled with black pepper and light, warming barrel derived spices. The juicy medium-bodied palate shows ripe fruit flavours and is framed by light, silky tannins.

About this wine

The Pedestal range of wines from Larry Cherubino are intended to be aromatic and vibrant, eschewing notable oak character for pure fruit expression.

The 2024 was warm, dry and at large trouble-free for the Margaret River region. Most of the fruit for this wine were machine picked. The 10% hand-picked component was added to the ferment as whole bunches. After 10 to 14 days on skins, the wine was transferred to French oak puncheons for a total of six months during which it went through malolactic conversion and rested ahead of blending and bottling.
