This aromatic white blend is a fusion of 92% Sauvignon Blanc grapes with 8% Semillon grapes. These fruit parcels were harvested in the cool of the night and then cold pressed. The juice obtained was fermented in stainless steel before bottling. The resulting blend displays a pale green colour. The lifted bouquet exudes fresh aromas of guava, with hints of Semillon grapes evident in the background. The medium-bodied palate initially presents flint dry and racy fruit flavours, balanced by crisp acidity. The finale is excellent and lingering. Made for consumption upon release, this enticing white wine has the potential to be cellared for 2 to 3 years from vintage.

From the Lange family estate and vineyard situated in the picturesque Frankland River, tucked away in the far northwestern corner of the Great Southern. “This is a potent Chardonnnay of power and presence. Toasty whiffs with cedar and clove spice, some rich, hazelnut elements, ripe citrus, red apple and rockmelon in tow. The palate similar to the bouquet, bold and spicy, laden with woody seasoning and generous to a tee. In all that, the balance works well” (Halliday).

The impressive West Cape Howe is owned by a partnership of four WA families, including those of Gavin Berry and Rob Quenby. Grapes are sourced from estate vineyards in Mount Barker and Frankland River. Styx Gully is 100% Mt Barker grown; all the fruit from our best two blocks of Chardonnay on our Langton vineyard. Block 3 had a tiny crop with rich fruit flavours, Block 25 has deeper soils, a better crop and ripened later; it provided the fruit with higher acidity and delicate, finer fruit flavours. Some of the parcels were handpicked and whole bunch pressed; the balance of the fruit picked at night with low overnight temperatures and processed promptly at the winery. Styx is all barrel fermented (approx 40% new) with no malolactic fermentation; the result being a complex, but still fruit driven, style of Chardonnay. “Its all about freshness and energy. Citrus and melon with a muted cashew character on the nose. The palate is finely balanced with penetrating finish promoted by a crisp chalky acidity. Has a little white flower and lime influence adding complexity. 92pts” (Ray Jordan)

Pierro Chenin Blanc 2022 "Nunc Tempus Est" Product Description The 2022 Pierro Chenin Blanc is a testament to the vision of Dr Michael Peterkin, who first planted this small plot of Chenin Blanc vines in 1980. Over the years, these old vines have developed into a highly prized source of fruit, yielding small quantities of exceptional grapes. The name 'Nunc Tempus Est', meaning 'Now is the time', reflects the moment when this remarkable wine has come to fruition. The grapes for this wine were handpicked in the cool of the morning, gently pressed, and fermented under careful conditions to preserve the freshness and purity of the fruit. The wine was then matured in a combination of stainless steel and mature French oak barrels, ensuring a perfect balance of texture and complexity. Fresh and vibrant, this wine showcases a unique style of Chenin Blanc that is both bone-dry and deeply flavourful, with aromas and flavours of honey, straw, and apples. The wine is powerful yet controlled, making it an excellent choice for cellaring, where it will continue to evolve beautifully over time.

Reviews and Accolades "A perfect match for fresh seafood or grilled scallops in lemon butter. A complex, vibrant, and age-worthy expression of Chenin Blanc." - Young Gun of Wine Such a distinctive chenin, as in very much a Pierro wine. Highly perfumed with lavender, green olives in brine, mastic verging on the smell of just-cut raw pine wood. There’s a lot going here: textural with barely ripe Packham pears, raw quince flavour and phenolics with a slip of creaminess. Super dry on the finish, super delicious to drink. - Special Value, Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion, 94 Points. Green apple, apricot, green pear, lemon myrtle and honey, a coverlet of spicy oak. It's juicy, lots of flavour here, but tight too, and the texture is excellent offering some chalky grip and glossy feel, and it sports a cinch of dried herb and quinine bitterness on a long finish. It's powerful Chenin, yet it's balanced and controlled. Gee, this is terrific wine. - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, 94 Points.
