95 Points - Erin Larkin
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, and notably produced the first Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blend in Australia.
The 2021 Pierro LTC is another benchmark example of this famous Margaret River style, which is sure to please the many fans of this hugely popular Margaret River white. Fresh, delicate and vibrant fruit aromas and flavours, with 12% barrel ferment adding a creamy texture. Plenty of passionfruit and citrus flavours on the palate with a subtle hint of cut grass. Another intense, precise and minerally example of LTC with crisp fruit extending to a long finish.
"95 Points. Routinely one of the great sauvignon blends of the region, and 2021 is no exception. This is intensely concentrated in the mouth; finger lime, banana, guava, red apples, pink grapefruit, peach ... the parade marches on. This feels marginally more tropical and opulent than years gone by; no bad thing. The 2021 seems built on pleasure. Suffice to say, another excellent release. $40. 13.5% alc. Drink by 2031.
