Since the mid 1980’s Mike Peterkin has crafted a chardonnay of not only monumental power, but of simultaneously smooth and silky delivery”. The Pierro ‘style’ was first made in 1986 and refined with every subsequent vintage. Mike had initially intended to specialise in Riesling on his Willyabrup plot, so it was a tad fortuitous that Chardonnay became Pierro's most famous wine. His vine supplier had been let down on a large order of Chardonnay rootstock, approximately 5000 cuttings, and offered them to Mike at a cut price. In order to help out his friend he agreed to take them. It was an inspired decision. Today the Pierro is regarded as one of the finest Chardonnays in the region. Seeing as Margaret River is indisputably Australia!s premier Chardonnay producing region, this is a major honour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday there are five distinct blocks of Chardonnay on the property in Willyabrup, with the average vine age reaching 30 years. 90% of the Pierro Chardonnay is the Gin-Gin clone which has proven itself to produce the best quality wine and one that has been particularly successful in Margaret River. Each block features unique high-density narrow rows on rocky soil that slope down to the Willyabrup Brook and are orientated to the west and north. The vineyards are managed to maximise fruit, leaf and cane exposure to sunlight; minimise wind damage in the spring and to heighten flavour development in the summer ripening period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach parcel is hand-picked, chilled, hand-sorted and gently whole bunch pressed.

Flowering in all varieties was approximately ten days earlier than in vintage 2017, and Chardonnay cap fall was mostly complete by November 13. Spring was met by generally mild conditions, with the usual showery and sunny periods resulting in excellent set across most varieties. Summer was warm with very few hot days, and veraison occurred two weeks earlier than in 2017. 2018 was a spectacular year for flowering of the local Marri trees, which kept birds distracted from the ripening vineyards.

and highly collectable expression from one of Australia’s most revered Cabernet-producing regions. Named after Coonawarra’s founding vigneron, John Riddoch, this flagship wine is crafted only in strong vintages and sourced from the estate’s finest parcels of low-yielding Terra Rossa vineyards. These ancient red soils are renowned for producing Cabernet Sauvignon with purity, structure and exceptional longevity — qualities that shine through in the 1997 release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"872\" data-end=\"1212\"\u003eThe 1997 season in Coonawarra was cool and even, marked by a long ripening window that allowed Cabernet to achieve excellent physiological maturity while retaining bright natural acidity.

The bouquet opens with notes of dried cassis, black cherry, redcurrant, cedar, cigar box and bay leaf. Secondary nuances of leather, roasted herbs, tobacco leaf, violets and earthy spice reveal the wine’s evolution in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1598\" data-end=\"2043\"\u003eOn the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied with a supple, mature texture. Fine-grained tannins frame flavours of aged blackcurrant, mulberry, black tea, forest floor and savoury oak. A refined line of acidity provides lift and balance, carrying the wine toward a long, elegant and gently tapering finish. The harmony and composure of the 1997 vintage reflect both the vineyard pedigree and Wynns’ masterful approach to Cabernet winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2045\" data-end=\"2195\"\u003eWell-stored bottles remain in excellent drinking condition today, offering a graceful and fully evolved expression of Coonawarra Cabernet at its best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2197\" data-end=\"2328\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2197\" data-end=\"2208\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coonawarra, South Australia\u003cbr data-start=\"2236\" data-end=\"2239\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2239\" data-end=\"2251\"\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cabernet Sauvignon\u003cbr data-start=\"2270\" data-end=\"2273\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2273\" data-end=\"2285\"\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~13.5%\u003cbr data-start=\"2292\" data-end=\"2295\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2295\" data-end=\"2315\"\u003eDrinking Window:\u003c\/strong\u003e Now – 2030\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2330\" data-end=\"2502\"\u003eA refined, beautifully matured John Riddoch Cabernet — elegant, savoury and classically Coonawarra, with superb charm for collectors and lovers of aged Australian Cabernet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oddbins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44360204812590,"sku":"SK25815715","price":179.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/6596\/6894\/files\/1997WynnsCoonawarraEstateJohnRiddochCabernetSauvignon750ml.png?v=1764745855"},{"product_id":"2014-bass-phillip-estate-pinot-noir-750ml","title":"2014 Bass Phillip Estate Pinot Noir 750ml","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"From the original Estate vineyard; 8,500 vines\/hectare; specific plot cropping at approx. one tonne\/acre, often blended with the best fruit from our Leongatha Vineyard.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bass Phillip","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44360406368558,"sku":"SK29674097","price":138.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/6596\/6894\/products\/43.png?v=1728708643"},{"product_id":"2021-clonakilla-shiraz-viognier-750ml","title":"2021 Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier 750ml","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-skeleton__details-description-reg product-skeleton__details-description--desktop\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mb-0 note1 show\"\u003eCritic tasting note: (2021 vintage) \"Fantastic aromas of dark berry, thyme, white pepper, and lavender.

In the early 20th century, the estate fell to pasture until 1970, when vines were once again planted. In 1979 current chief winemaker, Wayne Stehbens, produced the first commercial vintage for over 80 years. Many of the 198 hectares of plantings are anchored on classic terra rossa soils over limestone and sandy loams and transitional dark clays.

There's an abundance of tannins, but they are as resolved as tannins get, lightly coating the palate. The fruit was picked a little earlier than usual due to the warmth of the season in a bid to preserve tension and also keep the alcohol level at a very reasonable 13%. The acidity provides freshness and precision, giving the wine length and shape. While primary fruit is not front and center, on the finish it blossoms, offering cherries, cinnamon and clove spice. A very complete wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLike all our other 2018 wines, the vintage brought warmth, generosity and stamina. There is a light charred oak note present, easily confused with toasted almonds. Flowery scents like cherry blossom, violets and Christmas lilies are combined with plums, boysenberry and liquorice. Immediately the nose reveals this to be a serious wine: very coherent with rapidly expanding boundaries bringing aromatic volume. The palate, too, has an escalating horizon and an inflating edge; it's simply delicious, with well-rounded tannins. Initially there is a juicy, plush elegance, with the tannins claiming a more authoritative and luxurious presence, showing off its class and flamboyance. The mid-palate brings the wine back to earth with grounding acidity that reigns the wine in again without overpowering the fruit weight. It is just enough to bring life again to the floral and lighter fruit aromatics, to highlight the central core and to show the length and smooth finish on the back palate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e97 points Rebecca Gibb MW vinous.com Mar 2021 Drink 2021 - 2030\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSmoky, savoury, lots of pure red berry fruits aromas, clove and baking spices, roses and silty soil scents; complex.
