Citrus ~ Mineral ~ Fragrant 

The 2024 vintage of Cherubino’s Ad Hoc ‘Wallflower’ Riesling continues the label’s reputation for producing some of Western Australia’s most expressive and finely tuned cool-climate whites. Grown across select Great Southern vineyard sites, it’s a picture of balance – pristine fruit purity, subtle minerality, and a long, refined finish that lives up to its name: quietly elegant yet beautifully captivating.

Why You Will Love It

  • Signature freshness – lifted aromas of lemon peel, bath salts and florals.
  • Textbook structure – vibrant citrus fruit balanced by zesty acidity and fine minerality
  • Delicate yet persistent – dry, pure and beautifully weighted across the palate.
  • Minimal intervention – free-run juice, low sulphur use, and gentle winemaking for clarity and precision.
  •  Age-worthy elegance – drinking well now, but will evolve if you decide to cellar for 5+ years.
