Larry Cherubino Ovale Gingin Chardonnay / 2024 / 75cl

Bright citrus, white peach and grapefruit zest lead the nose, supported by almond meal and a cool, flinty edge that speaks to the Gingin clone’s natural tension. Oak influence is subtle and well‑judged, adding gentle vanilla–spice warmth without interrupting the wine’s precision. The overall impression is one of purity and drive, with aromatics that balance citrus lift and creamy depth.

The palate is sleek and finely structured, offering ripe stone‑fruit generosity held in check by a firm, refreshing line of acidity. A touch of struck match and savoury lees character adds nuance, but the style remains focused and restrained rather than weighty. The finish is long, mineral and quietly powerful, hinting at further texture and complexity to come with a little bottle age.
