The Pierro property on Caves Rd was purchased way back in 1979. The block is chosen due to its north facing slopes, gravelly loam soils along with the Willyabrup brook that flows through the entire property.
Handpicked, hand-sorted, gently whole-bunch pressed. Fermented and matured in French oak (50% new, 50% one year old). Malolactic secondary fermentation. Hand-stirred on the lees for 12 months. PIERRO’s tradition of putting their Chardonnay through a malolactic fermentation proved particularly advantageous this vintage due to the high natural acidity.
Harmony; delicate elegance balanced perfectly with richness, depth and hidden power. Long, lingering finish that leaves one feeling delightfully pensive and soothed!
“’d say the best Margaret River Chardonnay wines combine richness of flavour and power, with fresh acidity. Well, that’s what you have here. All the stone fruit, ripe pear, nougat, hazelnut and spice, with subtle struck match, and maybe a sizzle of grapefruit. It has a slippery glycerol feel, but pulls tight and flinty, a spiced honey biscuit thing happening too, oatmeal, and a crisp long finish of superb length. Lovely. Powerful, But kind of calm too. And soothing.” – 96 Points Gary Walsh, Winefront.
“The intensity of this super chardonnay was evident the moment I screwed the top off. Wow. This captures so much of the character of this excellent, small Margaret River vintage. It’s delicate yet it has so much power driving through the palate. Butterscotch and white peach with an edge of nectarine work in harmony. The oak treatment is excellent, providing such control Mike Peterkin has been making great chardonnay for years, but this one might just be the best yet.”- 98 points Ray Jordan
