Margaret River

Cabernet Blend

Cabernet sauvignon and merlot make up the bulk of the blend, but smaller components of petit verdot, cabernet franc, and malbec play important roles in completing the seamlessness and smooth integration that marks this wine. It is a wine of seamless elegance and real refinement, with opulent, fleshy fruit showing richness and presence. Already displaying complexity, but with the potential...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

Another sensational Peterkin chardonnay that displays the winery and vineyard DNA of richness and texture. It's a powerful statement from this vintage which produced fruit of great intensity. It shows on the palate, but then the use of oak holds it in, and the crunchy slightly chalky cracked seashell acidity brings it even closer. Very long palate is keenly defined....

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This will sit alongside anything Peterkin has made in more than four decades as one of the finest winemakers in the region. It is a cracking good wine delivered with precision and power with a degree of delicacy and finesse that makes it so appealing. Incredible intensity on the nose with aromas of white peach and grapefruit with a little...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

From one of Margaret River’s great chardonnay producers, this is yet another brilliant example of the style that has made Pierro so admired. You wouldn’t guess it came from a warm year—it’s delicate and fine, with a pristine brightness. The nose shows light grapefruit, citrus, a touch of butterscotch, and a subtle mealy note in the background. The palate has...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

Another outstanding wine in this fabulous lineage of Pierro chardonnays. It was a slightly warmer year, yet the wine presents with subtlety and refined elegance. Mealy, light quince paste and crumbly brioche characters and a little nougat. It is remarkably complex even now. Incredible depth and concentration, but with that elegance and linear mouthfeel. These wines age brilliantly.

Margaret River

Chenin Blanc

This is a chenin that lets the guys in the Swan Valley know they don’t have it all their way with this variety. The season was kind, and it’s resulted in a thoroughly beautiful example. It doesn’t have the obvious tropical fruits of some chenins, but it still shows fine citrus, light melon and apple characters that capture the variety...

Margaret River

Chenin Blanc

Oh, so easy to drink. This is a chenin from a small patch in the Pierro vineyard that is now quite mature. It’s a flinty dry style with slightly muted aromas but a palate that displays a driving apple and pear character with the lift of fine citrus and an ever so subtle grassy edge. Gradual flavour build-up then releases...

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

Such a good year for white varieties and this consistently first-rate wine has delivered again, but with the addition of even more natural crunchy vibrant fruit thanks to the vintage. The palate is more intense than previous vintages but still with that structure and precision that comes with the approach of using a combination of semillon and sauvignon, with a...

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

Year in and year out, this remains one of my favourite sauvignon blanc sémillon blends, albeit with an important inclusion of chardonnay and chenin, which completes what is always an impeccably made wine. It has structure, fruit intensity and tremendous appeal, with lots of lovely, crunchy tropical fruit on the nose and through the palate. It was a warm year,...

Margaret River

White Blend

Perhaps the quintessential example of the sauvignon blanc semillon blend from Margaret River, but of course it is augmented with about 23% chardonnay, hence LTC — light touch of chardonnay. While the sauvignon blanc and semillon certainly provide the lift, aromatics, and flavour intensity, it is the chardonnay that gives the wine its strength of character, structure, and depth. This...

Margaret River

Cabernet Blend

A blend predominantly of cabernet, with smaller contributions from merlot, cabernet blanc, malbec and petit verdot—a Bordeaux blend. The cooler season has delivered a wine of elegance and charm. It bursts with vibrant red fruits and a slightly leafy red currant note. The palate is seamlessly knitted with fine, silky tannins and lightly applied oak, all wrapped around the fruit...

Margaret River

Cabernet Blend

This is a delightfully fragrant medium bodied blend of cabernet sauvignon merlot cabernet franc and malbec. Nice red fruits on the nose with a leafy seashell character. The palate is fine balanced with a lifted chalky red fruit combination harnessed with fine grained oak. Bright and vibrant wine ideal in the shorter term.

Margaret River

Cabernet Blend

2022 in Margaret River produced some very good wines, and this beautiful, refined, and elegant example of what is largely a cabernet sauvignon merlot blend is quite exceptional. The F represents the inclusion of cabernet franc, which provides some wonderfully expressive aromatics and perfumes, while the palate is precisely and seamlessly woven, with the structure and fruit plushness to handle...

Margaret River

Cabernet Blend

This turned out to be a pretty good vintage for red wine. It was short and quick and with Covid everyone got stuck in. This is cabernet dominant but with important contributions from equal parts merlot and cabernet franc, which play out on the nose. Highly perfumed with floral violet notes. The palate is beautifully weighted with a fine chalky...

Margaret River

Cabernet Blend

The cooler 2021 vintage has contributed to a wine poised with silky refinement, reflecting both the season and the vineyard. It’s about 86% cabernet, with merlot, petit verdot and cabernet franc making up the balance. Over the years, I’ve tasted several of these, and this is one of the most stylish and elegant reserve wines from Pierro. The nose is...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

Oh gosh, this is a seriously impressive '19 cabernet. Peterkin has used a small amount of petit verdot presumably to get some acid support. The palate is such a complex weave of blackcurrant, gamey meats and rich syrupy chocolate. Fine tannins with a chalky seashell minerality hold it to its line as it extends to its very long finish. Seamless...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

I remember tasting this great chardonnay on release, thinking I wonder how that will be in a few years. Well now I know. Bloody marvellous. This captures so much of the character of this excellent although small Margaret River vintage. IT's delicate yet it has so much power driving through on the palate. Butterscotch and white peach with an edge...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

Pierro always holds back a little of the current release chardonnay, for later release, which is great because it pushes you into a wine that's entering its ideal drinking zone, and the cellaring is done for you. This was always an outstanding wine, and it captures so much of the Pierro style, perhaps leaning more toward the modern evolution of...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

Mike Peterkin holds back a little of his chardonnay each year for this vintage reserve release. It means you are forced to keep your hands off it until release. It was a vintage that suited chardonnays, and this is a cracker. It’s quite fine and delicate and only just starting to show traces of development with a roasted cashew and...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

Captures this beautiful cooler vintage exceptionally well. It’s remarkable how a little extra time in bottle has brought this wine together so perfectly. Aromas of leafy blackcurrant and dark plum lead into a palate that is seamless and velvety smooth, yet with the structure and textural feel that sets it apart. The 10% petit verdot has played an important role...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

At the time of release a couple of years ago, I thought this was an exceptional wine. Time has not changed my opinion. It captures the intensity yet delicacy that marked the 2023 vintage in Margaret River, producing a wine of remarkable finesse and poise. There is just the faintest hint that it is moving into a subtle new zone,...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

You get decent bang for your buck with this entry-level chardonnay. Delicate, racy, and zesty, with good fruit intensity, it displays a melony, light stone-fruit combination supported by crisp, minerally acidity and just a splash of lemon juice to lift. Clean, vibrant, and alive.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

This is the entry point into the Hay Shed Hill range, a bright, fragrant, flavoursome, controlled blend with light, grassy characters supplemented by a tangy citrus nuance, finishing with a final flick of acid. A nice current-drinking wine.

Great Southern

Cabernet Sauvignon

A firmish Great Southern cabernet displaying structure and poise. The aromas are a mix of blackcurrant, plum and cherry with a lightly toasted overlay of oak. The palate, which opens up with breathing displays more vibrant dark fruit characters a slightly ironstone minerality complementing. Make sure you decant this one to bring out those attractive fruit characters.

Great Southern

Shiraz

A delightfully elegant medium-bodied succulent shiraz from this very good vintage. Loads of savoury plummy fruit evident immediately on the nose. The palate is soft and supple with a juicy plush mouth feel. Dark chocolate, lightly roasted coffee bean and a lift of spicy sage all work seamlessly together. An excellent wine.

Great Southern

Cabernet Sauvignon

The cabernet from this very early vintage had plenty of punch and it’s been captured beautifully in this generous medium weight wine from the Great Southern. Ripe blackcurrant and tobacco leaf aromas with lifted bright cherry and red currant notes. Neatly integrated palate with supple tannins and fine-grained oak. Traces of coffee grinds and dark chocolate with even a hint...

Great Southern

Shiraz

A beautifully presented shiraz from this cooler vintage. Bright red fruits with an underlay of plush plum greets the nose with a liberal sprinkle of spices and black pepper. The palate is smoothly integrated with gentle tannins and deliberately underplayed oak. Soft and smooth and ready to drink.

Great Southern

Chardonnay

A high-class chardonnay that expresses variety and region so beautifully. It also shows that Margaret River doesn't have sole claim to this variety in WA. Engaging aroma of light lemon curd, brioche and custard apple with a little charry edge. A power-packed tightly framed palate is a feature with that light charry oak working so perfectly with the deep fruit...

Great Southern

Riesling

On the nose you immediately get that characteristic spiciness which seems a part of this region for riesling. It works so well with the other notes of citrus and floral lime. The palate is precise and very long with a degree of varietal tension as the fine crisp acidity promotes a very long finish. That saline minerality on the finish...

Great Southern

Rose

These two varieties sit so comfortably together in normal table wines so it makes sese they should do so well as a rose. Pale copper and pink hues deliver a bright and radiant opening. Then the nose displays a beautiful scented red fruit character with lavender and floral notes. Textured and flavoursome palate drives long and precise.

Margaret River

Cabernet Blend

Highly perfumed and seductively scented blend from Margaret River that takes this combination into a heady, ethereal zone. It’s such a stylish, poised, and effortless wine. Aromas of blackcurrant, dark plum, bay leaf, with a little liqueur chocolate, open on the nose. And then an exquisitely seamless, integrated palate carries through to an exceptionally long finish. A benchmark example of...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

Captures what has become something of a house style. It’s a wine of power and drive, and layered complexity. In this case, the aromatic mix of nectarine and peach, with some light grapefruit and citrus, immediately engages. The palate displays richness with a savoury element, providing balance and accentuating the tight lines through to the finish. There’s a gentle butterscotch...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

The elegance and stylishness of the ’23 vintage in Margaret River for cabernet is brilliantly expressed in this classy cabernet. The deep concentration is evident, with the perfume notes of blackcurrant, black olive, a little liqueur cherry, and a touch of oyster shell minerality. The palate has power and a little panache as it drives effortlessly through to a long...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This is a finer, tighter, and slightly tenser expression of chardonnay from the vineyard, as distinct from the standard Redbrook chardonnay. There’s a light lift of minerals, saline, and grapefruit on the nose. And then the palate has a steely minerality but a deep intensity of fruit. This was such a good vintage, and the depth and concentration is evident....

Margaret River

Shiraz

Balanced, poised, deeply intense, and wonderfully expressed Margaret River shiraz. Such beautiful aromas of plum and cherry, with a little spice and black pepper. And then a palate that is so intricately woven, with a fine thread of tannin. Precisely light oak driving through to a very long finish. It’s such a bright, vibrant shiraz that must dispel any suggestions...

Margaret River

Malbec

The colour is brilliant and deep with crimson magenta hues. Then the nose. Oh, wow. This is something special, with a combination of black cherry and blackberry with more opulent plummy notes. A subtle peppery chocolate and African violet character. The peppery character merges into the bright red fruits of the palate. Is balanced with fine tannins and so well-managed...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

The varietal notes of cabernet are immediately evident on the nose. Blackcurrant and black olive with traces of bay leaf and oyster shell minerality. The palate pulls together the fine supporting tannins and neatly layered oak to add structural support for some high-class fruit. The minerally acidity gives it a real kick through to a long finish.

Margaret River

Chardonnay

Impressive chardonnay reflecting the quality of this vintage. It was wild fermented and left on lees for nine months allowing an excellent textural palate to build while retaining its impeccable balance. Has a light creamy stone fruit and citrus combination on the nose. The palate reveals baked apple, spice and vanilla bean presented with a medium body. An excellent wine...

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

A fume style that shows the influence of oak, but never lets it intrude or overpower. It was picked and left on skins before wild fermentation in seasoned French oak with a further nine months maturation. Combines the intensity of the varietal characters of citrus and tropical fruits with a slightly minerally creamy character on the palate. Has a zingy...

Margaret River

Shiraz

Super impressive shiraz from this mature Margaret River vineyard. The nose displays some rather beautiful black cherry and spicy plummy notes with a trace of cracked black pepper. Darker fruit characters merge into the palate. It’s medium to full-bodied and so beautifully balanced and poised. Varietal notes of pepper and licorice with a little cedary oak add a subtle touch...
