98 Points - Ray Jordan | Last Stocks 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 2024 Pierro Chardonnay is a product of warmer, low yielding vintage with volumes significantly down on recent years. However this smaller crop helped deliver exceptionally concentrated flavours, vibrant aromatics and fresh acidity. The result is a Margaret River Chardonnay of great finesse and impressive power; with a tight structure yet generosity of flavour with plenty of ripe melon and white peach flavours. As with all great Pierro Chardonnay, this should age beautifully over the coming decade. "98 Points. From one of Margaret River’s great chardonnay producers, this is yet another brilliant example of the style that has made Pierro so admired. You wouldn’t guess it came from a warm year - it’s delicate and fine, with a pristine brightness. The nose shows light grapefruit, citrus, a touch of butterscotch, and a subtle mealy note in the background. The palate has real zing, with lively, pristine acidity driving through to a sustained finish. A chalky, minerally edge adds to the linear feel and precision. Another outstanding Pierro chardonnay. Cellar: 12 years. $130."- Ray Jordan, rayjordanwine.com.au.
