Wine Summary Image

A rare opportunity to enjoy this limited release wine from one of Margaret River's premium chardonnay producers.

As owner and chief winemaker Dr Mike Peterkin describes....“2018 Pierro VR Chardonnay is the cream of the crop and mainly from the oldest vines planted in 1980. Hand picked and hand sorted and then gently cold pressed to release the finest free run juice which was fermented in Burgundian French oak barriques 70% of which were new and 30% one year old. Then matured in these barriques for 12 months with regular battonage and malolactic fermentation (95%). It was bottled in May 2016 and then stored in our temperature controlled cellars to allow the wine to age gracefully before release. Delicate but intense flavours and aromas with a long life ahead of it. I think the finest Chardonnay we have made.”

Expert Reviews

Halliday Rating - 98

This is a thundering wine of booming power and length. It is characteristic of the 2018 vintage of course, but few people were able to extract this reverberating density of flavour. It is long. It is nuanced. It is not restrained. It is awesome. For all of the complexity and beauty of Pierro Chardonnay, it appears positively fine boned and delicate when tried alongside this VR. The length here is a tour de force ... it spools flavour, endlessly. It stains the mouth with it.

Winery Tasting Notes

Colour

Brilliant pale straw colour with a distinctive greenish tinge around the outskirts and a watery hue

Aroma

Scented aromas of white peach and nectarine intermixed with a hint of grapefruit meld their way into some flinty struck match characters and faint dried honey with subtle roasted almond end notes

Palate

Elegant and refined yet creamy and rich with a fresh finish, the palate features mouthfilling flavours of fleshy white peaches and nectarines overlaid by dried honey and funky struck match stick characters followed by subtle cashew infusions and spice. Outstanding length finishing with lively acidity and a long persistent aftertaste of white peaches, nectarines, dried honey, struck match stick characters, toasty oak and spice

Cellar

5-6 years

Winery Profile

The wines of Pierro are the culmination of passion, innovation, location, climate and time. Wherever our wines are enjoyed around the world today they invariably impart a tangible trace of their idyllic place of origin - warm southern climes, ancient soils, healthful vines and years of skilled hands-on viticulture and winemaking.

We are fortunate in that our beautiful Willyabrup vineyard is located in what is widely regarded as amongst the finest wine grape growing terrain in the world. Located in the heart of Western Australia's renowned Margaret River wine region, this far-flung locality has a viticultural pedigree second to none.

The district is situated in the continent's deep south-west, a relatively young region unsullied by the impact of human population and development. Fresh air, clean seas, unspoiled country and fruitful earth have been simple, priceless qualities here for millennia.

Surrounded by open water on three sides between capes Leeuwin and Naturaliste, the wine region is almost completely free of pollutants and contaminants. Year-round it is swept by pure, cool sea breezes, blowing in off the Indian and Southern Oceans. Mild, wet winters and sun-splashed summer seasons add to the viticultural equation.

A stable and predictable Mediterranean maritime climate is a vigneron's dream-come-true, and Margaret River has this too. The vineyard is situated on the north-facing south bank of the Willyabrup Brook, a pristine freshet that meanders down its namesake valley to the sea.

Couple this with soils ideally suited to the needs of classic varietal grapevines and we find ourselves in a kind of viticultural paradise. Amid this marvellous terroir sits Pierro Margaret River Vineyards.
