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.
Pierro Cabernet Merlot 'LTCf'
The Pierro LTCf has lively fragrances, rich and concentrated blackcurrant, dark cherry and mulberry flavours, a pleasing ripeness, an elegance and tightness on the mid-palate, fleshy, velvety texture, and gentle, fine, harmonious tannins. While this will be immensely appealing as a young red, it could be cellared in the short term.
