Note di degustazione
The 2024 Pemberton Chardonnay is rich, toasty and nutty on the nose, with notes of brûlée top, flambéed peach, cashews, lemon oil and white peach. The acidity on the palate is scintillating and serves to sensationally balance the opulence of the fruit. This is easily the best Pemberton Chardonnay I have seen from Cherubino, something I would not have predicted given some of the challenges of the hot, dry season. There's not a skerrick of that to be seen here. This is utterly superb! 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

The 2024 Chardonnay Pemberton shows its impressive class immediately with a brooding core of pineapple, crab apple and pithy citrus wrapped in a cloak of nutty barrel ferment and spicy oak. The palate offers excellent flavor density and composure, still youthful and closed, with prominent flinty elements, while the underlying power and length are undeniable. It just needs time.
Expressive, flashy aromas of lemon peel, salted nuts, oyster shells, grapefruit, pastry and flint. The tightly wound palate is balanced with a textural, rounded, midweight mouthfeel that leads into a mouthwatering finish. There's a great reductive edge here with underlying power and real mineral tension. 100% Gingin clone. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
