2022 Pierro Chardonnay
Est. range:
Private Sale- priced per LOT inc. GST (if applicable) and commission.
Owner and manager of Pierro Estate, Dr Mike Peterkin, has a viticultural pedigree second to none. Besides making one of Margaret Rivers best Chardonnay’s, Mike also produced the first Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blend in Australia.
Fermented in French barriques, the wine goes through a full malolactic fermentation which helps achieve superior texture, mouth feel and a more refined, persistent flavour. Lees are stirred fortnightly by hand in barrel over a period of 12 months.
Brilliant pale straw colour with a glistening green tinged outskirts and watery hue. Intense aromas of white peach, ripe nectarine and dried honey engulf the nostrils with some crème brulee, spicy nougat, roasted almond and gun flint notes also chiming in. Rich, mouth filling flavours of peach, nectarine and toasty dried honey flood the palate. Creamy textured, elements of crème brulee, roasted almonds, spicy nougat, biscuit and infusions of gun flint lead into an expansive and complex finish. A superb marriage of power and refinement with a long beautifully rounded aftertaste. Remains firmly entrenched in the top echelon of Australian Chardonnay.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.

Cooler season has resulted in this distinctly linear almost Burgundy-like expression of Margaret River Chardonnay. It's one of the tightest Pierro Chardonnays that I can recall, but I suspect it will age to reveal some of those beautiful vineyard qualities. Chalky minerality with a little butterscotch and savory notes turning the screws to tighten a focussed finish. Beautifully integrated palate.

Ray Jordan - WA Wine Review
Peach, melon, ripe lime, cashew and spice, a little fennel and vanilla perfume too. It’s glossy and smooth, a good cut of juicy citrus acidity, spicy biscuits, fine chalky texture, intense but kind of calm, with a flinty finish of impeccable length. Flavour and presence, and such a wonderful expression of full-flavoured Margaret River Chardonnay. Drink 2023-2029+
