Pierro Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2029

Pierro Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2029
Margaret River, Western Australia. The last few vintages have shown just how much the Pierro reds have benefited from the estate's mature vines (30 years old in 2015). As well as this, Mike Peterkin has been experimenting with tannin management andworking to encourage the development of flavour compounds in grapes early in the season and conserving  them in the heat of summer. He believes that the combination of these two factors have enabled Pierro to achieve fully ripe tannins without excessive alcohols and so produce reds that have 'finesse and elegance with full flavour'.

The components of the wine –  83.9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11.4% Merlot, 3.8 % Cabernet Franc, and0.8% Petit Verdot and 0.1% Malbec– are identified in the vineyard and monitored in the barrel...

PIERRO
Pierro was established in 1979 by Mike Peterkin, a qualified winemaker who continues to work as a medical GP. Pierro is one of Margaret River’s best boutique wineries, applying meticulous attention to detail in the vineyard and thoughtful policy of minimal intervention in the winery.  This has seen Pierro consistently produce one of Australia’s top Chardonnays since 1986. Their fine, delicate Semillon Sauvignon Blanc is among the region’s best and the first five vintages of Pierro Cabernet have been most impressive.  Pierro wine is a wonderfully complex balance of sensual and fascinating elements.

The components of the wine –  83.9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11.4% Merlot, 3.8 % Cabernet Franc, and0.8% Petit Verdot and 0.1% Malbec– are identified in the vineyard and monitored in the barrel.

 

As Peter Forrestal said recently " Having lavished praise on the quality of the whites, I can’t help feeling that the reds are underrated. They’ve been pretty impressive for quite some time , but have been in the shadow of the whites. The red blocks on the vineyard are now 25 years old and show this maturity in increased concentration of flavour.
