(2025) Partially barrel-fermented in French oak, Cherubino say that Laissez Faire reflects a hands-off approach to winemaking. A very attractive nose here, showing more than a hint of paraffin/wax character, but abundant crisp apple and lime fruit too. Any oak influence is very subtle, pehaps a touch of creamy almond in the background. The palate is bone-dry with a searing core of acidity that gives a mouth-watering, slightly saline finish in a wine with very good texture and length. Though labelled as Great Southern, the fruit in this vintage was specifically from Frankland River I believe.
