Robert Parker, May 2024, Score: 95
The 2022 Chardonnay is rich and nutty, with a smooth/polished/glossy flow of fruit and phenolics that seem to rush across the palate as one. Refined and satisfying, the Pierro Chardonnay is infallibly consistent, and it's a remarkable wine year on year. This warm 2022 season yielded painfully little Chardonnay volumes in Margaret River, and perhaps even more annoyingly, the wines are really good, as this is. There are notes of salted pistachios, yellow peach, blonde tobacco, red apple skins, scratched citrus, caper brine... I love it. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
Region
Margaret River
Certainly the best wine area in Western Australia, if not the whole country. The idyllic scenery of Margaret River (surf-lapped rocky coast, towering karri forest, abundant wildlife) has only been home to wine production since the 1970s. Hard to believe given the quality of the Chardonnays and Cabernets produced by the likes of Leeuwin, Cullen, Moss Wood and Vasse Felix. Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon all also thrive here. The climate is mild, tempered by the Indian Ocean and the drying wind known as the Freemantle Doctor, and infertile red loam soils are the most sought after for viticulture.
