Crafted by Dr Mike Peterkin from mature estate vineyards, Pierro Chardonnay has earned a longstanding reputation for combining remarkable concentration and texture with precision, freshness and long-term ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 vintage continues this distinguished lineage with a powerful yet refined expression of Margaret River Chardonnay. Despite a somewhat warmer growing season, the wine retains impressive restraint and linearity, combining ripe fruit with fine acidity, layered lees complexity and carefully integrated French oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eVintage \u0026amp; Winemaking\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 fruit was sourced from five high-density Chardonnay blocks with an average vine age of approximately 30 years. The warmer season produced fruit with excellent flavour concentration, while careful picking decisions helped preserve balance, freshness and aromatic definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chardonnay was hand harvested in nine separate picks over several weeks, with harvest concluding in the first week of March. The chilled fruit was hand sorted and whole-bunch pressed before fermentation in Burgundian oak, approximately 26% of which was new. Most of the wine underwent malolactic fermentation and was regularly lees stirred during approximately 12 months of maturation in barrel before preparation for bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProduct Highlights\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;
