Winemaking

The fruit for this wine is handpicked over a 10 day period between late March and early April. All grapes are handpicked, chilled then both bunch and berry sorted by hand. What remains is a black caviar appearence to the resulting berries. The grapes are fermented in open fermenters, plunged by hand three times per day, with a portion left to macerate for between 30-40 days to enhance structure and flavour. 70% of the wine is matured in new French oak for a period of 18 months which has resulted in additional complexity and structure as well as helping soften the tannins. This is a 10 barrel blend of the best quality red fruit that Pierro grows from the oldest Cabernet vines on the property.

Varietal content

This wine was vintaged from four different varieties, each making a distinctive contribution.

Cabernet Sauvignon - provides power and longevity 86%
Merlot - adds richness and opulance 7%
Cabernet Franc- fragrance and delicacy 6%

Malbec - 1%

Tasting Notes

A smooth, rich fullbodied red wine. With flavours of blackberry, mulberry, blackcurrant, plum and spice. Graceful and sophisticated fine tannins providing both incredible structure and length. Best served with Margaret River beef cooked over coals.

Drinking Window: 2024-2040

Reviews

'There seems to be a lightness of touch to the '20 Pierro offerings. This is quiet and quite ethereal, laced with red currants and blueberries, cedary oak and spices, dark chocolate and forest floor aromas. A touch shy of medium bodied, the tannins are supple, there's chalky acidity throughout and a lot to like' 
95/100 ,  Jane Faulkner - Hallidays Wine Companion
