Pierro Little Touch Of Cabernet Franc

Grown in one of the best vintages in Margaret River in a generation and hand-picked from several blocks on the Pierro estate, this wine is crafted from mature, low-yielding vines planted in the gravelly loam granite soils typical of the Willyabrup Valley. Unlike many other vineyards in the area, Pierro employs high-density plantings, resulting in lower quantities of fruit that boast higher quality, balance, and rich concentration of flavours. Situated within 3 km of the coast, these parcels benefit from the maritime climate and refreshing ocean breezes that prevail during the growing season.

The 2020 vintage displays a deep, inviting hue, promising a delightful tasting experience. Aromas of ripe blackberry, cassis, mulberry, and plum entice the senses, setting the stage for the elegant flavours to come. On the palate, this medium-bodied red wine is smooth and silky, offering a harmonious blend of fruit flavours that include rich blackberry, luscious cassis, and ripe mulberry, all accented by hints of plum. Its approachable character makes it an easy-drinking choice that still delivers depth and complexity.

We recommend enjoying the Little Touch of Cabernet Franc alongside red meat dishes, such as succulent lamb or duck. It also pairs beautifully with rich pasta dishes, making it an ideal choice for sharing with good friends over a memorable meal.

Wine Companion Review: Jane Faulkner
Attractive as much as approachable for drinking now thanks to soft, fine tannins and a light spray of acidity across its less-than-medium-bodied palate. Delicately spiced, with fruit in the red spectrum, a dusting of pepper and licorice. Ready to be cracked open today. 93 Points

Welcome to Pierro Vineyard, a hidden gem in the picturesque Wilyabrup area of the Margaret River Wine region in Western Australia. Nestled amidst 65 acres of stunning bushland, Pierro Vineyard is graced by the tranquil meandering of Willyabrup Brook, which plays a vital role in irrigating our meticulously tended vines. Since our inception in 1980, when we planted our first grapes and constructed our cellars, we have dedicated ourselves to the art of winemaking, nurturing approximately 11 acres of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Rhine Riesling, and Pinot Noir.

At Pierro, we employ an age-old European viticultural technique that involves planting vines closely together. This method encourages healthy competition among the plants, resulting in grapes that are rich in flavor and character. Our inaugural vintage in March 1983 marked a significant milestone, featuring a delightful array of wines including a spicy Blanc de Blanc, a superb Chardonnay, and a smooth Sauvignon Blanc. The quality of our wines is a testament to our dedication; our Spatlese Riesling, crafted from our own grapes, exemplifies the unique terroir of our region. Initially, we sourced grapes from local growers between 1979 and 1983, with some fruit from the Frankland River region, ensuring that our wines reflect the diversity of the area.

The Pierro cellars are a marvel in themselves, built using locally sourced materials that include rammed earth, which provides a naturally cool environment perfect for wine aging. The interior boasts warm tones of jarrah hardwood, creating a rustic yet elegant atmosphere. Our tasting area, highlighted by a stunning jarrah bar, offers visitors a chance to sample our wines in a setting that reflects the beauty and character of the Margaret River region.

Leading our winemaking efforts is Dr. Michael Peterkin, whose unique background blends medicine and viticulture. After initially graduating in Medicine, Dr. Peterkin pursued his passion for winemaking, becoming a consultant for several esteemed wineries in the Margaret River and Lower Great Southern districts. His expertise has been instrumental in crafting exceptional wines that showcase the unique characteristics of our vineyards.
