The 2024 Pierro Chardonnay is sourced from the estate’s Wilyabrup vineyards, where gravelly loam soils and cooling Indian Ocean influences deliver fruit of intensity and balance. Long regarded as one of Australia’s most consistently elite Chardonnays, this wine reflects Pierro’s meticulous, traditional approach to viticulture and winemaking. In the glass, it shows concentration without excess, combining ripe stone fruit and citrus with savoury, mineral complexity. Wild fermentation, full malolactic conversion and extended maturation in French oak contribute texture and depth while preserving freshness. The 2024 vintage displays impressive harmony, with richness shaped by firm acidity and finely judged oak integration. There is a sense of quiet authority through the palate, where power is expressed through structure rather than weight. Layers of flavour unfold gradually, revealing both immediate appeal and long-term promise. This Chardonnay is a confident expression of Margaret River terroir and Pierro’s classic house style, built to reward both near-term enjoyment and extended cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1217\" data-end=\"1382\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1230\" data-end=\"1233\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1237\" data-end=\"1240\"\u003e – Complex and composed\u003cbr data-start=\"1262\" data-end=\"1265\"\u003e Aromas of white peach, nectarine and lemon zest layered with cashew, subtle struck-match, flint and gentle oak spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1384\" data-end=\"1547\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1390\" data-end=\"1393\"\u003e – Powerful yet controlled\u003cbr data-start=\"1418\" data-end=\"1421\"\u003e A concentrated core of stone fruit and citrus framed by bright acidity, savoury notes and a creamy, finely textured mouthfeel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1549\" data-end=\"1687\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1555\" data-end=\"1558\"\u003e – Long and authoritative\u003cbr data-start=\"1582\" data-end=\"1585\"\u003e A persistent finish marked by mineral drive, integrated oak and lingering citrus and nutty complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1689\" data-end=\"1914\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1708\" data-end=\"1711\"\u003e \u003cem\u003e“An outstanding Chardonnay of depth and control.
