Wine Summary Image

This is a wine of great finesse yet impressive power, tight structure yet generosity of flavour. An unctuous mouthfeel with taut, fine acidity on the finish.

Today there are five distinct blocks of Chardonnay on the property in Willyabrup, with the average vine age reaching 30 years. 90% of the Pierro Chardonnay is the Gin-Gin clone which has proven itself to produce the best quality wine and one that has been particularly successful in Margaret River. Each block features unique high-density narrow rows on rocky soil that slope down to the Willyabrup Brook and are orientated to the west and north. The vineyards are managed to maximise fruit, leaf and cane exposure to sunlight, minimise wind damage in the spring and heighten flavour development in the summer ripening period.

Each parcel is hand-picked, chilled, hand-sorted and gently whole bunch pressed. There are multiple picks for this wine. With the firs batches being picked for aromatic complexity and acidity and the latter picked for flavour and body. All juice is settled and then fer mented in French barriques. The wine goes through a full malolac tic 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 prior to blending, settling and bottling. The result is a world class white which is well entrenched in the top Chardonnay’s of Australia.

Expert Reviews

Wonderful to lift such a lightweight bottle!

Peach, pear and fennel, spiced butter cashews, flinty top note, a little saline with it. Lively acidity and chalky dusty texture, creamy with some tropical accents, and a lime-laced finish of excellent length. Such regal carriage and delivery of bold Chardonnay flavour. Drink 2024-2030+

Winery Tasting Notes

Brilliant pale straw colour with a distinct glimmer of green around the edges and a watery hue. Lifted white peach and nectarine aromas are complexed by biscuity oak, citrus, traces of crème brulee and gun flint. Rich and fleshy textured the beautifully shaped palate features concentrated white peach, nectarine and citrus fruits over elements of dried honey, roasted almonds, biscuity nougat characters, traces of crème brulee and infusions of gun flint. Superb volume combines with immense power to form a fresh and focused yet cream tinged conclusion that’s very long and sophisticated.

Drink over the next 6-8 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.
