Pierro Wines

About Pierro

Pierro is closely tied to the vision of Dr Michael Peterkin, whose background in medicine, viticulture and winemaking helped shape one of Margaret River’s most individual small wineries. From the outset, the winery has been guided by a strong sense of independence and a willingness to do things carefully rather than conventionally.

That identity still comes through clearly today. Pierro feels understated rather than showy, with a focus on vineyard quality, hands-on work and wines that speak for themselves. It is a winery with real personality, but also with the kind of depth and discipline that comes from decades of close attention to site and style.

Wilyabrup and the Pierro style

Pierro’s vineyard sits in Wilyabrup, one of Margaret River’s most highly regarded subregions, where warm gravelly soils, ancient base rock and the cooling influence of the nearby oceans help shape wines with intensity, balance and regional character. That setting is central to the identity of the winery and to the style of the wines.

The vineyard is also notable for its high-density planting, a decision that was unusual in Margaret River at the time and remains an important part of the Pierro story. That attention to vineyard design reflects the broader philosophy behind the winery, where flavour concentration, vine balance and site expression are treated as central rather than secondary.

A winery built on detail and restraint

Part of what makes Pierro so distinctive is the level of care behind the wines. The vineyard is farmed with a strong natural focus, pruning and harvesting are carried out by hand, and fruit is sorted carefully before winemaking begins. That quieter, more deliberate approach gives the wines a sense of precision without making them feel forced or overworked.

There is also a strong sense of continuity running through the winery. Pierro has never felt built around trends or expansion for its own sake. Instead, it has developed a reputation through consistency, site awareness and a very clear idea of what the wines should be. That is a big part of why the label continues to hold such a respected place in Margaret River.
