Winemaker: Larry Cherubino
Raised in the Swan Valley, Larry was studying for an agriculture degree when he worked a vintage as cellarhand at the valley’s iconic Houghton, Australia’s third oldest winery. He enjoyed working there so much so that he deferred his degree and spent the next few years working vintages in Europe and back at Houghton. Eventually he graduated with a double major in agribusiness and horticulture, and went on to study oenology at Adelaide’s famed Roseworthy College. This eventually led to a role as winemaker at Tintara Wines in South Australia. In 2006, Larry was appointed by Capel Vale as senior winemaking consultant.Simplicity in winemaking requires great attention to detail in the vineyard, an uncompromising approach fruit selection and uncomplicated winemaking, all framed by a kind season.
