Winemaker Dr Michael Peterkin: The 2010 vintage followed a run of excellent years of reds in Margaret River, ending up being an ideal growing season. There was a touch of rain when needed, mild conditions with no extremes of temperature and moderate crops with fine flavour for cabernet sauvignon.The fruit is hand picked, chilled and then hand sorted before a gentle de –stemming. Individual parcels are kept separate and fermented in a number of different ways including open fermenters, closed fermenters and short and long post fermentation maceration. After this the wine was racked into French oak where it was matured for 18 months.The result is a great Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Reserve. The 2010 is among the best produced at Pierro – distinctively Willyabrup in origin yet subtly different from similar blends produced in the area. It offers up gently brooding varietal fragrances and has greater concentration of flavour and more power than most, yet shows the plushness of texture and approachability that is a mark of this wine. There are ripe redcurrant and black plum aromatics, dense rich cassis, mulberry and bramble flavours. It is rich and smooth, finishing with a gentle grip from fine tannins, Drinking well now but will age beautifully.

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 HallidaySchrijf uw eigen review
