2022 Chardonnay Margaret River

The 2022 Chardonnay is rich and nutty, with a smooth/polished/glossy flow of fruit and phenolics that seem to rush across the palate as one. Refined and satisfying, the Pierro Chardonnay is infallibly consistent, and it's a remarkable wine year on year. This warm 2022 season yielded painfully little Chardonnay volumes in Margaret River, and perhaps even more annoyingly, the wines are really good, as this is. There are notes of salted pistachios, yellow peach, blonde tobacco, red apple skins, scratched citrus, caper brine... I love it. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
