Description

Made by one of the West’s most iconic producers, Larry Cherubino, this is quite simply one of the best value Rieslings around.

A blend of various vineyards from across the Great Southern region, this fruit was selected for its freshness and appeal on release. Despite it's name, this wine is certainly no wallflower - it'll be the life of the party.

If you want quality WA Riesling for under $30, this is your guy.

"There are many pillars to the case for riesling to be proclaimed the greatest variety on Earth, one of the most compelling being no other can match it for delivering Rolls-Royce quality at Camry prices. Here is Exhibit A."

95 points - "Top 100 Wines of 2025 There are many pillars to the case for riesling to be proclaimed the greatest variety on Earth, one of the most compelling being no other can match it for delivering Rolls-Royce quality at Camry prices. Here is Exhibit A. The wine lifts from the glass on a rising wave of apple blossom and jasmine, drives across the palate in a rush of citrus drenched flavour, and has the elusive ability to deliver so much energy without becoming shrill or unbalanced. Masterful at any money." - Nick Ryan (The Weekend Australian)

Almost transparent in colour, this wine shows great purity and refinement. A fragrant bouquet, with flavours of lemon peel and bath salts all carried along by a soft texture and long fine acid.

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

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
