Description

The Value King in the West! Larry Cherubino does it again...

Every so often a wine jumps out of the box, one that belies its price point and challenges perceptions of value. This 2021 Pedestal Shiraz is one of those wines.

It won the Trophy & Top Gold for Best Shiraz at the 2023 Sydney Royal Wine Show, cleaning up in one of the country's most contested wine shows. What's more, it comes from a region renowned for Bordeaux varieties, making this all the more shocking of a result.

On top of that, it scored 95 points with the Halliday Wine Companion, giving further credence for punching well above its $20 price point. For a bang for your buck mid-week Shiraz, this is an excellent buy.

Cherubino Review Excerpt

About Larry Cherubino

Larry Cherubino is one of the real superstar winemakers of Western Australia.

Sourcing fruit from established vineyards throughout Margaret River and Great Southern, Larry waves his wand to craft what is one of the most consistently high quality and comprehensive wine ranges in the country.

The wines all deliver bankable quality at every price point. The acclaim from Australia's wine media will tell you just that.

As James Halliday said himself, "The range and quality of his wines is extraordinary, the prices irresistible."

Trophy - 2023 Sydney Royal Wine Show - Best Shiraz Trophy & Top Gold

95 points - "Anyone not convinced by Margaret River shiraz, try this. It’s a beauty. Heady aromas of florals, spiced fruit, rusty iron and warm earth. Fleshy ripe plums and cherries on the fuller-bodied palate soak up the oak before the persistent finish kicks in. The silky tannins are something else. Impressive from first to last sip." - Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)
