"Hand picked gin-gin clone chardonnay from the 20-30 year old vines at the Fire Gully farm and vineyard. Cold pressed, barrel fermented in 2-3 year old barriques where it undergoes regular lees stirring. Dr Michael Peterkin of Pierro purchased the nearby Fire Gully property in 1998 and now manages the vineyard, which is also one of the most beautiful and unique properties on the cape. Attentive, hands-on viticulture and years of experience in the winery has taught us how to create the best wines from high-grade fruit coming in from the vines." - Winemaker Notes
"From a very good Margaret River vintage. 25% new oak. 43% malo. 20-30 year old vines. Here's a richer and more juicy style of Chardonnay with something of a creamy feel, but also has shapely grapefruity acidity to keep it on the rails. Pine-lime, some cedar and spice, generous in flavour, a little chalkiness to texture, offering excellent length with a subtle nutty aftertaste. Generous and good." - 93 Points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
"The 2025 Chardonnay is excellent. It is nutty and layered with orchard fruits and salty/mealy notes on the middle palate. The length is good. The wine speaks of Margaret River in its splay of fruit and presence on the palate. These are all great things. This is a lovely wine, as usual." - 93 Points, Erin Larkin, Robert Parker Wine Advocate
