Pierro VR Chardonnay is the cream of the crop and mainly comes 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. It is then matured in these barriques for 12 months with regular battonage and malolactic fermentation. It was bottled and then stored in their 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. Expect notes of citrus, stone fruit, honey and flowers. Powerful, well textured, toasty oak and an incredible finish. So pure and long. This might be the finest Chardonnay Pierro have made.
Pierro Margaret River Vineyards (usually referred to simply as Pierro) is an Australian winery at Wilyabrup, in the Margaret River wine region of Western Australia. Established in 1979 on a scrubby, rocky and steeply sloping property, it has been described as having "one of the prettiest locations in an area that offers much, even at its most mundane."
The winery's name, adapted from that of the folk tale character Pierrot, alludes to both the winery's founder, Dr Michael Peterkin, and its location, as both "Pierrot" and "Peterkin" mean "son of Peter" and "son of the rock".
