The fruit is hand picked, chilled and then hand sorted before a gentle de –stemming. Individual parcels are kept separate and fermented in a number of different ways including open fermenters, closed fermenters and short and long post fermentation maceration.. After this the wine was racked into French oak where it was matured for 12 months.

Expert Reviews

I simply don't know what is going on here, the very light colour not due to early picking/low alcohol; the hue is good, and the fruit flavours are fresh, but there isn't enough substance for the label and price, unless it is treated as a wine for early consumption. Rating 91 - Drink by 2017, James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion (FEB/2014).

Winery Tasting Notes

Aroma/Palate

The 2011 L.T.Cf. shows the benefit of another outstanding vintage in Margaret River. It's very much in style with its soft-easy drinkability, medium-body, ripe cherry pastille and mulberry flavours, and gentle grip on the finish. The smooth tannin structure giving the wine the capacity to age a further 10 years or more.

Winery Profile

The wines of Pierro are the culmination of passion, innovation, location, climate and time. Wherever our wines are enjoyed around the world today they invariably impart a tangible trace of their idyllic place of origin - warm southern climes, ancient soils, healthful vines and years of skilled hands-on viticulture and winemaking.

We are fortunate in that our beautiful Willyabrup vineyard is located in what is widely regarded as amongst the finest wine grape growing terrain in the world. Located in the heart of Western Australia's renowned Margaret River wine region, this far-flung locality has a viticultural pedigree second to none.

The district is situated in the continent's deep south-west, a relatively young region unsullied by the impact of human population and development. Fresh air, clean seas, unspoiled country and fruitful earth have been simple, priceless qualities here for millennia.

Surrounded by open water on three sides between capes Leeuwin and Naturaliste, the wine region is almost completely free of pollutants and contaminants. Year-round it is swept by pure, cool sea breezes, blowing in off the Indian and Southern Oceans. Mild, wet winters and sun-splashed summer seasons add to the viticultural equation.

A stable and predictable Mediterranean maritime climate is a vigneron's dream-come-true, and Margaret River has this too. The vineyard is situated on the north-facing south bank of the Willyabrup Brook, a pristine freshet that meanders down its namesake valley to the sea.

Couple this with soils ideally suited to the needs of classic varietal grapevines and we find ourselves in a kind of viticultural paradise. Amid this marvellous terroir sits Pierro Margaret River Vineyards.
