2022 Pierro Vintage Reserve Chardonnay Margaret River

2022 Pierro Vintage Reserve Chardonnay Margaret River – The 2022 Vintage Reserve Chardonnay is a deeply compelling release from Pierro – powerful yet impeccably controlled, capturing the concentration of the vintage while retaining the estate’s hallmark finesse and mineral precision. Drawn from the finest parcels of the estate vineyard in Willyabrup, it is a Chardonnay of serious pedigree and longevity. Complex and highly expressive, the bouquet opens with white peach, nectarine and preserved lemon, layered with roasted cashew, brioche and flinty reduction. Subtle notes of creme brulee, struck match and vanilla spice emerge with air, while a saline mineral edge adds clarity and lift. Concentrated yet beautifully poised, the palate delivers a seamless interplay of ripe stone fruit, citrus and savoury complexity. A creamy, lees-derived texture builds through the mid-palate, framed by bright acidity and a finely etched mineral spine that keeps the wine taut and focused. Layers of toasted nuts, subtle oak spice and gentle flint unfold gradually, leading into a finish of remarkable persistence and precision. There is both richness and restraint here – an authoritative Margaret River Chardonnay with exceptional balance. A benchmark modern Australian Chardonnay that combines depth, texture and energy in equal measure. Already captivating in its youth, yet clearly built for extended cellaring over the next 10-15+ years. Single Price: $220.00 Any Six Bottle Buy: $170.00
