Tasting Notes

Awards: Bright straw-green; a very complex wine reflecting assured handling of 100% barrel ferment that builds texture, complexity and structure without diminishing the mix of white peach, nectarine, melon and grapefruit flavours. 95 points James Halliday
Region: Margaret River, Western Australia.
Drink Until: 2015
Varieties: Chardonnay
Alcohol: 14.0%
Foods:
Oak: French oak.
Colour: Pale yellow.
Nose: Intense ripe, juicy white peach, melon, hazelnut and nectarine aromas.
Palate: Delicate and fine wine with hints of cedary oak that will blow away and a smooth viscosity that will become softer and creamier all adding to the satisfying complexity that age brings. For now, theres a tangy, zesty, vibrance in the mid-palate and a refreshing, cleansing acidity that enables the wine to finish crisp and dry.

Background:

For the team at Pierro, attention to detail in the vineyard is the key to the success of the Chardonnay. It is sourced from a single site, the north-facing estate vineyard on the south bank of the Willyabrup Brook which flows down its namesake valley to the sea. Mike Peterkin believes that this natural watercourse provides a nourishing lifesource for the vineyard. The mature vines (24 to 29 years old in 2009) are unirrigated and come from higher density plantings (4,000 to 5,500 vines per hectare) than are usually found in Australia. There is much about the winemaking process that is traditional at Pierro: the wine is barrel fermented in French barriques; a hundred per cent goes through the malolactic fermentation and has regular lees stirring (battonage) during its 12 month oak maturation. Mike Peterkin remains a strong supporter of the role that the malolactic fermentation can play in improving the flavour and length of palate of the Chardonnay while battonage gives a seamless character and creamier texture to the wine.
