2017 Pierro Chardonnay

Refined, rich and powerful this a compelling Margaret River Chardonnay.

Brilliant very pale straw colour with a distinct glimmer of green to the edges and a watery hue. Intense aromatics of white peaches, ripe nectarine and dried honey blossom from the glass overlaid by biscuity oak and elements of gun flint. Subtle citrusy nougat and spice notes ensue. Refined and elegant yet at the same time delivering remarkable richness and power, the palate is engulfed with white peach, ripe nectarine and dried honey flavours which drive onto an exceptionally long finish. There’s a textural creaminess to the mid palate which is superbly counterpointed by perfectly integrated fresh acidity. Complexing elements of lightly roasted cashew, biscuit, subtle gun flint infusions and spicy nougat also chime in, adding further interest. Magnificent length with an aftertaste of white peaches, ripe nectarines, dried honey, infusions of gun flint, nougat and light spicy cashew that sails long on into the night. Outstanding.
