Description
Located in the heart of Western Australia’s renowned Margaret River wine region, the Pierro locality, owned and managed by Dr Mike Peterkin, has a viticultural pedigree second to none.
Besides making award-winning Chardonnay of distinctive character, Mike also produced the first Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blend in Australia.
The Pierro reds are now among the very best in the region.
Each parcel is hand-picked, chilled, hand-sorted and whole bunch pressed.
There are multiple picks for this wine.
With the first batches being picked for aromatic complexity and acidity, and the latter being picked for flavour and texture.
Each batch is kept separate and inoculated with different yeasts depending on the variety and date picked.
During this time a quarter of the wine is fermented in French oak barriques for 2-3 months for mouthfeel and texture.
These different elements combine as a whole to provide an incredible amount of complexity to the final wine.
The separate batches are then combined and left on fermentation lees for 3-4 months prior to bottling.
A light dry wine, delicious when young but has the capacity and backbone to mature and develop in the bottle.
Flavours of citrus, pear, green apple, melon and tropical fruit.
Fresh, crisp and dry with both complexity and elegance.
An ideal accompaniment to seafood and white meat dishes.
