2023 Larry Cherubino Ovale Clonal Pemberton Chardonnay

This elegant Chardonnay shows how balance and restraint can create real beauty in a wine. Gentle oak ageing adds texture and depth without overpowering the fruit, letting its subtle aromas shine through. The palate is smooth and refined, with a long, graceful finish — the result of careful, thoughtful winemaking.

 Hand-harvested fruit was whole-bunch pressed and fermented naturally in a mix of clay-cement vessels and French oak barrels. Eight months resting on its lees has given the wine lovely texture, finesse, and a touch of richness that ties everything together beautifully.
