Pierro VR Chardonnay 2022
"This is a fabulous bottle of chardonnay. Bugger me. It’s straw-green in colour, it’s loaded with flavour, it carries Unami notes as if they’re commonplace, and it goes for gold through the finish. It tastes of pears and cream, butter and lime-spider, pink peppercorn, bacon fat, brine and a flood of peach. It’s a gorgeous wine, hands down, for sure, no doubt." 97 points. Campbell Mattinson
"The Pierro VR Chardonnay is the last premium Chardonnay of the region to be released each year. It's not released every year, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't sad about that. I respect the decision to only highlight suitable/excellent years, but I do wish it was a mainstay. The 2022 Vintage Reserve Chardonnay is everything I hope it would be. It is nutty, complex, profoundly weighty and powerful, with chamomile flowers (I feel this is the vintage shining through), yellow fruit and exceptional length. This is one of the most magnificent Chardonnays in Australia." 98 Points, Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate
"Lime, pear, biscuity clove and ginger oak, floral too. It’s powerful with plenty of flavour, pine-lime and melon, nutty and creamy with a honey gloss, a powdery and flinty grip to texture, bright citrus acidity, some savoury oak influence, with a soaring finish of superb length. It’s ripe but has freshness, balance and energy. So impressive. Margaret River power in full flight." 97 points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
"Pierro always holds back a little of the current release chardonnay, for later release, which is great because it pushes you into a wine that's entering its ideal drinking zone, and the cellaring is done for you. This was always an outstanding wine, and it captures so much of the Pierro style, perhaps leaning more toward the modern evolution of the last 10 years. It’s crunchy and vibrant, with tremendous depth and intensity of fruit and a long, precise finish. This is classically Margaret River and delivered with polish." 97 Points, Ray Jordan
Located in the heart of Western Australia’s renowned Margaret River wine region, the Pierro estate, 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.
