One of the most collected Chardonnays in Australia!Wie nog twijfelt of Australië in staat is om het niveau van de grote witte Bourgognewijnen te evenaren moet deze wijn beslist proberen: helder strogeel, intens tranend, een parfumexplosie van subtiel rokerige eik gelinkt aan rijp geel pitfruit (gele pruimpjes, gele abrikoosjes) en wat heldere boter. Hierop volgt een stevige krachtige smaak, met zowel verdere fruitimpressies (heel rijp) als nog jonge eikimpressies en mooie ondersteunende zuren. De smaken blijven maar aanrollen in de bijzonder lange afdronk.

Pierro
De uitzonderlijke, exclusieve wijnen van Pierro zijn slechts mondjesmaat te bekomen, het grootste deel van de kleine productie blijft in Australië. De Chardonnay heeft reeds meermaals in blinddegustaties grote witte toppers uit Bourgogne verslaan. Dr. Michael Peterkin gaf deels zijn fulltimejob als arts-specialist op om zich meer te wijden aan zijn grote passie en levenswerk: Pierro. ‘I bought the property because it is a very romantic place and close to my romantic interests, my wife Shelley (Cullen). I had no idea what the future would bring.’ Sinds de bijzonder kleinschalige start in de jaren tachtig kregen de exclusieve Pierro-wijnen grote waardering. Vandaag de dag is het nog steeds piepkleine Pierro een begrip in Australië. Peterkin maakt wijnen met een grote finessefactor, daarenboven typisch voor deze mooie Margaret River regio. Zijn exquise Chardonnay wordt vaak de ‘Batard Montrachet’ van Australië genoemd en rangschikt zich tegenwoordig bij de top van de wereld. Initieel wilde Michael echter Riesling aanplanten, maar de kwekerij leverde 5000 Chardonnay-plantjes. De elegante, geraffineerde Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot alsook de bijzonder originele Semillon Sauvignon LTC (=Little Touch of Chardonnay) zijn grote lievelingen van de goede sommelier. 5 Star Winery - Halliday Wine Companion "Outstanding" (Chardonnay) - Langton's Fine Wine Classification IV “Pierro is one of the few Australian wineries that could claim to have established a trend that many others have followed. Since the mid-1980s Mike Peterkin has crafted a Chardonnay of not only monumental power, but of simultaneously smooth and silky delivery. Pierro Chardonnay is the role model for so many of Australia’s more opulent and hedonistically proportioned chardonnays and is a stunning expression of Margaret River Chardonnay.” - Jeremy Oliver "Dr Michael Peterkin is another of the legion of Margaret River medical practitioner- vignerons; for good measure, he married into the Cullen family. Pierro is renowned for its stylish white wines, which often exhibit tremendous complexity; the Chardonnay can be monumental in its weight and texture. That said, its red wines from good vintages can be every bit as good." - James Halliday

    Pierro Chardonnay 2017 - The Icon Delivers!
    �Since the mid-1980s Mike Peterkin has crafted a Chardonnay of not only monumental power, but of simultaneously smooth and silky delivery. Pierro Chardonnay is the role model for so many of Australia�s more opulent and hedonistically proportioned chardonnays and is a stunning expression of Margaret River Chardonnay.� JEREMY OLIVER

    The long-awaited release of Pierro Chardonnay 2017 is finally here, and I�ve got to say we�re all pretty excited about it. As you would know � the recent incarnations of Dr Mike Peterkin's chardonnay reflects a wider movement amongst producers toward more finessed and linear styles. The genius in what Pierro have achieved with their wine is that they have managed to balance the essence of the rich and powerful classic Margaret River Chardonnay that made it famous while retaining elegance and energy.

    Of course, provenance of site in the favoured Willyabrup zone and Peterkin's near 40-year history with the site have been important factors in making Pierro an iconic chardonnay in the Australian wine landscape. It must make what was undoubtedly a big decision of Peterkin�s to eschew doctoring for winemaking all those years seem like a pretty smart play, with the benefit of hindsight. The new release Chardonnay continues to give the remarkable consistency and quality that we all know and love Pierro to be.

    A stunning unison of both power and finesse. The wine is in perfect harmony with a delicate elegance balanced perfectly with richness and depth. A uniquely aromatic nose with hints of apple, melon and butterscotch on the palate. The finish is long. This wine will build complexity with the benefit of a few years of careful cellaring.
