A limited release from Pierro's Margaret River estate, the 'VR' Chardonnay represents Mike Peterkin's finest barrels - the culmination of over four decades of winemaking experience dating back to his first Chardonnay in 1980. Matured for four years in bottle prior to release, it is drinking beautifully now and will continue to age gracefully for a further six years in cool cellaring conditions at 14-16 degrees.

"The thing is with wine you only have one chance each year to refine and improve what you do. This also demands a careful balance between tradition and change. So it can take many years to build a body of knowledge. I first made Chardonnay in 1980 and I hope this wine expresses the 40 years of accumulated experience and heritage."

"100% gin-gin clone. 100% malolactic. 100% Pierro. Lime, pear, biscuity clove and ginger oak, floral too. It's powerful with plenty of flavour, pine-lime and melon, nutty and creamy with a honey gloss, a powdery and flinty grip to texture, bright citrus acidity, some savoury oak influence, with a soaring finish of superb length. It's ripe but has freshness, balance and energy. So impressive. Margaret River power in full flight."
