Larry Cherubino

2019 Laissez Faire Syrah, Larry Cherubino

Western Australia, AustraliaVintage: 2019

Laissez-Faire means “let it be” and this reflects the hands-off approach that winemaker Larry Cherubino uses when making this striking Syrah.  A bouquet of black cherries is enveloped in subtle mineral nuances and supporting oak spice. Red flowery fruit flavours dominate, with subtle slate-like minerality following through onto the elegant palate, all framed by fine tannins through to a long finish.

While inspiration has been taken from organics, biodynamics and natural winemaking practices, the Laissez Faire range could be called ‘natural wines’; Larry Cherubino likes to think of them as “post-natural” wines. Believing in healthy and sustainable vineyard practices, Larry grows all his own grapes and can account for their provenance and natural status. While copper is allowed in organic viticulture, minimal copper treatments are used here. The grapes for this wine are grown in the subregions of Frankland River and Porongurup, in the Great Southern, which are considered to be two of the most distinctive viticulture areas in Australia.

Description

Larry Cherubino is a truly great winemaker and one of our wine heroes here at Wine Republic. Larry and his wife Edwina started Cherubino wines in their spare bedroom in 2005 after buying a small parcel of land in Frankland river in 2004. They released one wine! A lot has happened since. The range has grown, and along the way, critical acclaim has flowed, particularly noteworthy is being honoured as the Winery Of The Year by respected wine critics such as James Halliday and Matt Skinner. All this did not happen by chance, Larry earned his stripes, notably as head winemaker for Houghton, the iconic Margaret River winery. Larry further enhanced his experience by designing vineyards and wineries in countries such as New Zealand, USA, France, Italy and South Africa.

Larry Cherubino wants his wines to be distinctive and to speak clearly of their variety and vineyard site. He believes in paying meticulous attention to the vineyard, canopy and water management, picking at the right time and minimal intervention in the winery.   Cherubino wines now have vineyards all over Western Australia including Margaret River, Pemberton and the Great Southern.

Laissez-Faire means “let it be” and this is reflected in the hands-off approach of winemaking. The grapes were hand-harvested, sorted and naturally fermented with indigenous yeasts. The wine spent six months in four-year-old French oak, prior to bottling. As the name suggests, no additional acids, enzymes or yeasts were added during vinification. There is zero sulphur use throughout the winemaking and only minimal sulphur added at bottling.
