Pierro Chenin Blanc
Summary
Pierro Nunc Tempus Est Chenin Blanc is a signature white from the iconic Pierro estate in Margaret River, Western Australia. Sourced from a small, dedicated Chenin vineyard planted in 1980 (now mature vines), it's crafted as a dry, vibrant expression of the variety in a cool-climate Australian style. Fermented and matured in tank (with minimal or no oak influence) to preserve freshness, purity, and site character. This elegant, textured wine balances juicy fruit with lively acidity and subtle complexity—bone-dry yet flavourful, with good aging potential (5-10 years). Versatile and food-friendly, pair with seafood, poultry, creamy pastas, goat cheese, or Asian-inspired dishes.Product Details

Expert Review "Medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, with flavours of apple, melon, citrus and gentle almond cream framed by lively acidity. The texture is excellent offering some chalky grip and glossy feel, and it sports a cinch of dried herb." – Aligned producer and retailer notes (consistent across recent vintages like 2023)
The Frenchman Says "This Margaret River Chenin slips into the glass like a crisp orchard dawn, blooming with green apple juiciness, quince whispers, and a cheeky almond-honey tease — nervy, textured, and irresistibly vibrant, it leaves you refreshed, enchanted, and scheming for another elegant pour."
