Cherubino Ad Hoc Wallflower Riesling 2024

Tasting Notes

• Colour: Almost transparent with a pale green-gold tinge.
• Aromatics: Fragrant and lifted, showing lemon peel, bath salts, and fresh lime zest.
• Palate: Dry, elegant and finely textured, carrying flavours of lemon, citrus oil and white florals. A soft, delicate acidity drives a long, precise finish with subtle minerality.

Winemaker’s Note

“Sourced from premium Great Southern vineyards, this Riesling showcases the purity and poise the region is known for. The 2024 season’s cooler start and warm finish created perfect ripening conditions – delivering fruit with intensity, perfume and naturally balanced acidity.”

The 2024 Vintage ☀️

The season began cool and wet, supporting steady vine growth and balanced canopies before transitioning to a warm to hot and dry summer. Minimal rainfall over the summer season helped concentrate flavour while retaining natural acidity which led to ideal conditions for Riesling. A near-perfect combination for structure, freshness and long-term cellaring.

Sustainability & Philosophy

The Ad Hoc range celebrates varietal honesty and regional expression, using low-intervention techniques and selective vineyard sourcing to craft wines that are pure, balanced, and unmistakably Western Australian.

• Cellaring: Enjoy young for zest and vitality, or cellar 5–10 years for aged lime, toast and honey notes.

Food Pairing Suggestions 🍽️

🔹 Freshly shucked oysters with finger lime.
🔹 Thai-style prawn salad with lemongrass and chilli.
🔹 Salt-and-pepper squid with aioli.
🔹 Goat’s cheese and citrus crostini.

FAQ Wine Terms 🧐

❓ Why is it called ‘Wallflower’?
It’s a nod to Riesling’s understated charm – delicate and quiet, yet captivating in character and complexity.

❓ What makes Great Southern Riesling so special?
Cool nights, warm days, and mineral-rich soils yield wines with fine acidity and a striking citrus-mineral profile.

❓ How will this wine age?
Expect aromas of lime blossom to evolve into honeyed toast and lanolin richness over time.

I have been buying my wines from Kirk for about two years now and I have never had a bad experience or wine. I love the fact that the wines are all West Australian, so supporting local and lower carbon footprint. He delivers when it’s convenient for me and brings the wine to my door.  Wines are all good quality and well priced, especially the cleanskins. Highly recommended

I've been ordering from Partners in Wine for three years now - from the UK for my sister living in Perth. Each time they've been bang on with my order including  on time delivery. Kirk has also helped me select my wines from an extensive list.  A very pleasant and friendly company to deal with. I would highly recommend them.
