Discover Pierro Winery: A Margaret River Gem
Nestled in the heart of the renowned Margaret River region, Pierro Winery stands as a testament to the artistry and dedication of Australian winemaking. Founded in the early 1980s by the visionary couple, Kevin and Tania Pierro, the winery has become synonymous with premium wines that reflect the unique terroir of this picturesque area. With a commitment to quality and an unwavering focus on sustainability, Pierro has carved a niche for itself among the finest wineries in Australia.
A Legacy of Excellence
Pierro’s story begins with a vision to produce exceptional wines that would showcase the distinctive qualities of Margaret River. Over the decades, the winery has garnered numerous accolades and awards, earning a reputation for its innovative techniques and commitment to quality. The philosophy at Pierro is simple: to create wines that are true to the land and reflective of the region’s unique characteristics.
The Margaret River Region
Margaret River is celebrated for its Mediterranean climate, which is ideal for viticulture. The region boasts warm, sunny days and cool, breezy nights, allowing grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavours. The maritime influence from the Indian Ocean further enhances the growing conditions, with fresh sea breezes helping to moderate temperatures during the warmer months. This unique climate, combined with the region’s diverse soil types—including gravelly loam and granite—creates a perfect environment for growing a wide range of grape varietals.
Pierro Winery is located in the Willyabrup Valley, one of the most sought-after sub-regions of Margaret River. This area is known for its high-density plantings, which produce lower yields of higher quality fruit. The vineyard’s proximity to the coast ensures that the grapes benefit from the cooling sea breezes, contributing to the bright acidity and fresh flavours characteristic of Pierro’s wines.
Diverse and Exceptional Wines
Pierro is renowned for its signature blends, particularly its Semillon Sauvignon Blanc (SSB), which has been celebrated as one of the best in Australia. The 2023 Pierro Little Touch of Chardonnay is a prime example of the winery’s commitment to excellence. This wine combines 50% Semillon, 43% Sauvignon Blanc, and 7% Chardonnay, resulting in a light, dry wine that showcases vibrant aromas of citrus, pear, and tropical fruits. It offers a refreshing palate with a crisp, elegant finish, making it a perfect match for seafood and white meat dishes.
Pierro’s dedication to producing high-quality wines is evident in every bottle, with meticulous attention to detail at each stage of the winemaking process. The winery’s philosophy embraces traditional techniques while incorporating modern practices to enhance the quality and flavour of its wines. The result is a diverse portfolio that appeals to a wide range of palates, from crisp whites to rich reds.
Sustainability and Innovation
Sustainability is at the core of Pierro’s operations. The winery employs environmentally friendly practices in the vineyard and winery, ensuring that the natural ecosystem is preserved for future generations. This commitment to sustainability not only reflects a deep respect for the land but also enhances the quality of the grapes, resulting in wines that are both delicious and responsibly produced.

Encompassing the The Swan Valley, Chittering & Surrounds the key varietals grown here include Shiraz, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chenin Blanc & Verdelho.
What you might not know is it is Australia’s 2nd oldest wine region and has the hottest climate of any wine region in Australia. It is actually too hot here to produce certain varietals like Pinot. So, if you find one here, the fruit will probably be from down south.
Being on the doorstep of Perth we often forget it’s only a 25 minute drive from the city. We are so lucky to have a major wine region so close to the city.
An untapped resource that we are excited to showcase. We encourage you to take a drive up through the Bickley Valley. Not only are there some great wineries, but it’s a lovely drive with some fantastic views!
Most wineries here in the Bickley region are quiet young and a little different, with some varietals somewhat uncommon in WA. It has its own microclimate, producing differences in a Cabernet or Shiraz found down on the coastal plain. Up here you will find other varietals like Durif, Tempranillo, Mourvedre, and some Pinot Noir & Merlot.
The region stretches from Jarrahdale, through Bickley and the undulating landscapes of the Darling scarp.
The first commercial vineyard began operation in 1974 by Peel estate, which is still there today and producers some wonderful wines! Shiraz is the area’s strong suite.
The sea breeze comes much sooner than the swan valley keeping the temperatures a little cooler. Unfortunately, a region with few wineries that have a cellar door at present.
The Ferguson Valley and surrounds sits about 15 mins East of Bunbury and is home to a number of small boutique wineries. It’s majestic rolling hills, and the changes between the prevailing summer easterlies to the afternoon sea breeze makes for a diverse set of microclimates.
The region also encompasses the coastal plain, and down to Donnybrook providing different styles. Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon & Sauvignon Blanc are the kings of this area, but wineries are experimenting with new plantings.
World renowned Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay live here, but there is still diversity in the climate that creates different styles from a winery 30km North of Margaret River, to 15km’s south of Margaret River.
There are 70 wineries with a 5 star rated (James Halliday) Cabernet. Shiraz, Sauvignon Blanc & Semillon are also strong in the area. Margs wipes other Australian regions off the table when they blend a Sauvignon Blanc and a Semillon.
If you have not been a fan of Chardonnay in the past, I suggest you give it another go. Styles change, and the regions Chards is rated amongst the best in the country.
Situated to the East & West of Bridgetown the area is exposed to cooler temperatures and a higher elevation compared with Margaret River.
The Blackwood Valley mainly produces quality aromatic Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. You can expect to find a vivid shiraz full of black fruits, and a textured, medium-bodied cabernet sauvignon. There are much fewer wineries in the Blackwood Valley compared with Margaret River.
The first vineyards in the region were established in 1976 and the area is now home to several award-winning wine producers and grape growers who supply some of Australia’s finest restaurants.
This is Karri Forrest country, and the rich soil is loved by Vineyards and Avocado’s galore! Its cool and wet in Pemberton for about 6 months, receiving far more rainfall than most other wine regions in WA.
The area can receive over 1.2 meters of rain per year. It is not uncommon in summer for Perth to be Sunny and 33c, while Pemberton is partly cloudy with cool ocean breezes from the South East and only 24c.
This lush soil combined with cool weather helps Merlot, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc & Chardonnay thrive here, and keep an eye out for a lovely floral Cabernet Franc as well.
Much debate has been had over splitting up the Manjimup and Pemberton regions. Manjimup has a warmer climate and less fertile soil whereas Pemberton’s soil is richer.
The Warren River runs through the middle to split up the regions. The area is reasonably young in plantings, dating back to the late 80’s. The wines produced in this area are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and a few Cabernet Franc’s. For me, the Manjimup and Pemberton regions produce the states best Merlot. If you haven’t been a Merlot fan, it could be you are yet to try one from these regions.
The biggest single wine region in Australia – I bet you did not know that! There is such diversity in terrain, climate and soil type that just about anything thrives down here.
Denmark, Mount Barker and the Porongurup’s are the key areas, Some of WA’s finest Shiraz comes from north of Denmark in the Frankland River area, while most of Australia’s best Rieslings come from the Porongurup’s. Just ask James Halliday who says it himself!
Due to the sheer size of The Great Southern and its varied terrain, it has the capacity to produce world-class wines from a range of classic varieties. Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc & Chardonnay. There are 5 star wineries littered throughout the region. I need no convincing in taking a trip to Denmark for their wineries.
