2024 Pierro Chardonnay
Pierro sits right in the top tier of Margaret River Chardonnay. Year on year, their classic release presents as an uber elegant and sophisticated wine.
Crafted by the meticulous Mike Peterkin, this wine draws from 30-year-old vines, primarily the renowned Gin-Gin clone, planted on high-density, rocky soils that slope down to the Willyabrup Brook.
Each parcel of fruit is hand-picked across nine distinct passes to balance aromatic complexity, acidity, and richness. A year of fermentation and maturation in top-class French oak, coupled with full malolactic fermentation and regular lees stirring, results in a Chardonnay of immense power and silky finesse.
Expect a layered palate of ripe citrus, pear, and stone fruit, laced with subtle nougat and buttery herbal notes, all tied together by a vibrant acidity. While drinking beautifully from late-2025, this wine will evolve gracefully over the next decade, making it a standout addition to any cellar or dinner table.
