Pierro Chardonnay 2023

A cold winter and spring followed by a mild dry summer resulting in a gentle, consistent ripening across all varieties. Vintage for this wine commenced on the 14th of February and completed on the 23rd of March after 9 seperate picks.  Ray jordan has noted 'In the case of the '23s from WA, I don't think I have seen wines of so much vibrance, life and energy, with such expressive fruit' All of the fruit  for the Pierro chardonnay is hand picked, chilled to five degrees and then bunch sorted by hand prior to whole bunch pressing using a sparkling press cycle. Fermented and matured in French oak barriques for 12 months  (44% new) with fortnightly battonage.
