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 real zing, with lively, pristine acidity driving through to a sustained finish. A chalky, minerally edge adds to the linear feel and precision. Another outstanding Pierro chardonnay. 98 Points RAY JORDAN
