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.

The wine goes through a full malolactic fermentation which helps achieve superior texture, mouth feel and a more refined, persistent flavour. Lees are stirred fortnightly by hand in barrel over a period of 12 months prior to blending, settling and bottling.

The 2022 is a beautiful Quartz Chardonnay. It is layered, poised and vibrant. There are aromas of stone fruits complemented by spice, nuts, wet stones and flowers. The palate is fresh and mouth filling with excellent texture, balance and drive. These wines begin to drink at their best after five years in bottle and for a decade beyond that.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinery\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bindi \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal(s)\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chardonnay\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-value\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-value\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003eAustralia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eState\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-value\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003eVictoria\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e: Macedon Ranges\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-value\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e2022\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlc\/Vol\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan\u003e12.5%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosure Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-value\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003eScrew Cap\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-value\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrinking Window\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan\u003e2026-2034\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-value\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bindi Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44525249593646,"sku":"SK37476745","price":124.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/6596\/6894\/files\/2022_Bindi_Quartz_Chardonnay_750ml.png?v=1763087944"},{"product_id":"2021-evening-land-seven-springs-chardonnay-750ml","title":"2021 Evening Land Seven Springs Chardonnay 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom Rajat Parr and Sashi Moorman of Sandhi, come Evening Land Vineyards.

On the palate, flavours of yellow and green apples, white flower petals, lemon zest, cream, and hints of warm baking spice lead to a soft, palate-coating finish. Master Sommelier's notes We absolutely love the wines being made by Rajat Parr and Sashi Moorman. They capture everything exciting about modern American winemaking; elegance, intensity, tension and vitality. Our release of their latest Sta. Rita Hills wines from their Californian label, Sandhi, disappeared in record time a couple of weeks ago, so we are delighted to now present the brand new 2021 Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from their Oregon winery, Evening Land. Their philosophy and winemaking approach remains the same at both locations of course, but the resulting wines are markedly different. Terroir! The Willamette Valley in Oregon is often compared to Burgundy, for the challenging growing conditions, varieties planted, and the quality-minded smaller scale producers that have chosen to work here. It is therefore not surprising that super sommelier Raj Parr and winemaker Sashi Moorman, who bonded over their love for elegant European wines, found their second home (away from their Domaine de la Cote vineyard) here, becoming full owners of Evening Land in 2012.The Evening Land estate, whose vineyard is known as ‘Seven Springs’ is planted overwhelmingly to Pinot Noir, followed by Chardonnay, and Gamay. The oldest own-rooted blocks of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are a testament to, and daily reminder of, Oregon’s incredible winemaking history. Seven Springs’ eastern exposure ensures the vineyard awakens to the warmth of the morning sun. The vineyard’s position opposite the windy Van Duzer Corridor, mitigates hot, sunny afternoons in the Willamette Valley with cool winds from the Pacific. As valley temperatures increase throughout the day, warm air rises, replaced by cooling winds flooding in from the Pacific through the Van Duzer gap and across the vineyard. This daily cooling, along with the eastern aspect, affords the grapes the luxury of extended time on the vine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBenchmark Oregon producers have long sourced fruit from Seven Springs and the wines from this vineyard are the most decorated and award-winning Oregon wines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bootleggers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44542462296366,"sku":"SK43229169","price":125.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/6596\/6894\/products\/2021EveningLandSevenSpringsChardonnay.png?v=1728710875"},{"product_id":"2020-wickham-road-gippsland-chardonnay","title":"2020 Hoddles Creek Estate Wickhams Road Gippsland Chardonnay 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFruit from Gippsland but made in exactly the same manner as the Estate range, this Chardonnay has a purity of fruit and a beautiful line of acid.
