Larry Cherubino Uovo Grenache is a strikingly pure, innovative red wine produced in the pristine Frankland River region of Western Australia. Created by acclaimed winemaker Larry Cherubino, the Uovo series named after the Italian word for egg marries ancient winemaking concepts with contemporary precision. By fermenting and maturing the wine entirely in unlined, egg-shaped clay and cement vessel tanks without oak influence, Cherubino crafts a modern expression of Grenache defined by intense fruit clarity, voluptuous texture, and remarkable elegance.

Why You'll Love It

This wine is a dream for drinkers seeking a silky, perfume-driven red that offers remarkable presence without heavy oak intervention. The unique egg-shaped fermenters create a natural kinetic vortex during maturation, continually circulating the fine lees throughout the liquid. This process imparts a creamy, rounded mouthfeel and velvety depth while preserving the vibrant natural acidity and lifted, bright floral aromatics of high-quality Grenache. It offers a wonderfully fresh, light-on-its-feet alternative to traditional, oak-heavy Australian reds.

Vineyard & Production

The grapes are sustainably harvested from cool-climate vineyard sites in the Frankland River sub-region of Western Australia, where ancient soils and temperate maritime air allow for slow, balanced ripening. In the winery, the fruit is gently handled and transferred into giant clay-cement ovoid tanks. The natural continuous internal currents keep the lees in perpetual motion, building textural richness naturally. Free from oak aging, the wine gains structural weight, fine-grained tannin integration, and aromatic purity straight from the vessel before careful bottling.

Tasting Notes

Displaying a bright, translucent ruby-red hue in the glass, this wine opens with a captivating and perfumed nose of wild strawberries, raspberry puree, blood orange, and cherry cola, underpinned by delicate dried floral notes, musk, and subtle rose petal. The palate is medium-bodied, remarkably smooth, and lively, delivering a succulent core of red berry and stone fruit balanced by a refined, powdery line of tannin. A bright streak of natural acidity leads into a long, persistent, and beautifully poised finish.

Perfect Pairings

With its vibrant fruit profile, silky texture, and supple tannins, this un-oaked Grenache is exceptionally versatile alongside food. It pairs magnificently with roasted duck breast, tender rack of lamb, slow-braised pork belly, and grilled game meats. It is also an excellent match for earthy mushroom dishes, charcuterie boards, dim sum, and a variety of medium-aged or soft cheeses.
