The Pedestal range of wines are made by one of Australia's most acclaimed winemakers; Larry Cherubino. Showcasing the varietals the Margaret River region does bet, the Pedestal wines consistently deliver high-quality, exceptional value drinking.
The 2025 Pedestal Chardonnay is a lovey example of the popular Margaret River style; aromas of lemon, peaches and tropical fruits give way to pure, clean flavours on the palate. Fine, persistent flavours with balanced acid and a long finish. An exceptionally elegant wine, showing the benefit of careful oak treatment.
"This really is a super value-for-money chardonnay from a season that’s turned out pretty well for this variety. It was fermented and matured in French oak for about eight months and certainly picked up some lovely characters. On the nose, there’s a light fig and lemon combination, with a touch of quince paste, and then a distinctly mineral, savoury palate lifted with some nice crunchy apple and melony notes. It finishes with a fine crispness and a touch of cracked-shell edginess. 92 Points. Cellar 7 years. $30"- Ray Jordan, rayjordanwine.com.au
