Chardonnay Uovo 2024, Larry Cherubino - 96 Points James Suckling

£27.95 per bottle

NEW TOP PICK

ABV 13.0%

So delicate and refined, sitting on the edge of reduction with aromas of lemon pith, crushed stones, apple blossoms, chalk, struck match and grapefruit. The palate is tightly wound with electric, mineral-driven acidity and powerful underlying tension that will evolve beautifully for years. Fermented and aged in concrete egg for 14 months on fine lees. If you love the warmer sites of Chablis and great Western Australian chardonnay, this is for you.
96 Points - James Suckling (2024 Vintage)

The 2024 Uovo Chardonnay is savory, textural and salty, with chalky phenolics that really grip the core of fruit. This has a creamy nuttiness about it that is typical of the Cherubino house style (and we love it for that), but the impact of the concrete egg here is a tightening of texture and shape through the finish. This is an excellent wine, one that comes highly recommended. The fruit is from Pemberton, a cool and wet area in Western Australia's Southern Forest area—a place of towering Karri trees and adjacent to the best growing area for truffles in Australia, Manjimup. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
