2018 Pierro Chardonnay

Located in the heart of Western Australia’s renowned Margaret River wine region, Pierro has a viticultural pedigree second to none. Owned and managed by Dr Mike Peterkin, Pierro is widely considered one of Australia's leading Chardonnay makers. The 2018 Pierro Chardonnay continues Margaret River's great run of exceptional vintages, particularly for white wines.

That balance between finesse, fruit flavour and flinty struck match is just so spot on here. White peach, ripe lime, cashew and fine spicy oak. It’s juicy and intense, with subtle honey and lemon curd richness, cool clean acidity, flinty and electric, light toasty oak and matchstick layering in complexity, and a very long spiced and lime drizzled finish. Beautiful wine, and for my tastes, pretty much in the zone now and over the next few years. – 96 points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

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 southwest, 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.

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