Pierro Margaret River Chardonnay 2021/22
Over the last four decades, Mike Peterkin at Pierro has built a reputation as one of the legends of Australian Chardonnay, making wines of both monumental power and breathtaking elegance and they are now some of the most sought-after bottles from the country. The Pierro Chardonnay is sourced from 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 is thought to trace its origins back to Meursault. It’s a decadently styled wine with alluring aromas of brioche, golden delicious apples and spice. On the palate, intense flavours of stone fruits, freshly baked sourdough and crème patissière alongside well judged oak and finishes with fabulous length. Year after year, it’s clear that this is not only one of Margaret River’s best wines but also Australia’s.
