Cherubino Wines is thrilled to reveal its recent acquisition of Margaret River Winemakers, a renowned Australian wine and spirits brand. This acquisition encompasses a state-of-the-art 2,000-tonne facility complete with warehousing capabilities, distillation capacity, and a welcoming cellar door experience.
As part of the acquisition, Cherubino is set to rebrand the spirits brand, with a primary focus on leveraging Cherubino’s vineyards and fruit resources to create regional, estate-to-bottle spirits and establish a dedicated produce farm shop. This strategic endeavor will seamlessly complement Cherubino’s existing portfolio, which includes its renowned cellar door and the acclaimed Frui Momento restaurant and Enoteca, all located in the picturesque setting of Wilyabrup, Australia.
Cherubino’s Founders, Larry and Edwina Cherubino, revealed that they have been planning an acquisition for over 20 years.
Founder, Larry Cherubino, said, “We are committed to a long-term approach to winemaking, and this acquisition represents an incredible opportunity for us to establish the brand not only in terms of supply but will greatly support our production and marketing capabilities”.
“Cherubino’s newly appointed distribution partner in the UK, Hatch Mansfield, Oatley Fine Wine Merchants in Australia and our many partners and customers around the world have allowed us to make this important step with confidence and we look forward to sharing more details of the project soon.”
The current wine facility and equipment will be moved to the new facility over the next 12 months. The new cellar door is slated to reopen in December 2023.
