Located in the heart of Western Australia’s renowned Margaret River wine region, Pierro has a viticultural pedigree second to none. Owned and managed by Dr Mike Peterkin, Pierro is widely considered one of Australia's leading Chardonnay makers, with their red wines now among the very best in the region - their 'LTCF' stands for 'little touch of cabernet franc'.
This 2021 Pierro LTCF is a classic 'Bordeaux blend' of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, delivering a Margaret River red wine of impeccable quality, with rich, concentrated varietal flavours and high quality fine-grained tannins.
"94 Points. This is lovely for its restraint and approachability, which makes it very easy to drink. Violets and spice, raspberry leaf and freshly rolled tobacco with a hint of menthol. Barely medium bodied, this is finely tuned with sweet red berries, mulberries and cassis, a smidge of cedary oak. There’s a certain elegance here, a softness to the palate, the tannins fine and feathery, acidity bright and the finish lingers. Gorgeous now and will offer more with age. Screw cap. 13.5% alc. Drink 2024-2034"- Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion.
"93 Points. Medium-bodied, svelte and crisp. Red fruits, some perfume, aniseed, cigar box and spice. Tannin provides a light grainy grip and it finishes long and refreshing. A stylish wine that’s very easy to drink. A lovely expression of Cabernets. Drink 2025-2032+"- Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
