Cherubino Porongurup Riesling

Larry Cherubino has secured his position among the top names in riesling in Australia, and it’s this label that’s confirmed it. On crystalline purity and floral expression, this is one of the most captivating bouquets I have experienced in a long time. It’s breathtaking in its delicate white lilies, almost ripe pear and granny smith apple intrigue. The palate effortlessly lives up to such grand expectations, with incisive drive of lime and lemon, crunchy granny smith apple and a wonderfully fine, mineral mouth feel. Length and line are sensational. $31 at Dan Murphy’s.
