2018 Pierro Semillon Sauvignon Blanc L.T.C

THE HON. L.T.C.

Semillon & Sauvignon Blanc with just a Little Touch of Chardonnay

L.T.C., with a hint of her elegant mother, is a fresh and lively young lady from the Willyabrup Duchy. She dances lightly, melting hearts with her delightful approachability. Dressed in a subtle blend of delicate fabrics - a light and floating skirt with a structured bodice, she is most often seen with a basket of fresh, zesty citrus fruits, herbs and wild flowers over one arm. A wonderful pre-dinner conversationalist or a superb companion with whom to enjoy fresh seafood.

2018 Pierro Blanc De Blanc

MADEMOISELLE DE BLANC

Introducing Mademoiselle “Blanche” de Blanc, the PIERRO family’s French Maid. Mademoiselle de Blanc has been part of the household for many years and is much treasured by the family, not least for her charming ability to add to any social occasion. An elegant blend of Chenin Blanc, Riesling and Viognier she comes into her own in the summer, delighting guests with her silky soft accent and trailing an irresistible aroma of

tropical fruit, apricot, passionfruit and a touch of gooseberry as she saunters between the garden party guests. You may catch her winking playfully at the older men from a safe distance, while they pretend not to notice but smile smugly into their glasses of Port. Her speciality is Asian cuisine and providing delightful summer refreshment.

2015 Pierro Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot L.T.Cf.

THE HON. L.T.Cf.

Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot with a  Little Touch of Cabernet Franc

Introducing Pierrot - the family romantic, he secretly pines after the French Maid, who is oblivious to his sentiments. A somewhat naively trusting character, he is affectionately teased by his big sister, but takes solace in his book-learning. 12 months maturing in French oak, he spends much of this time improving his mind and developing his integrity as an artist. Somewhat shy at first, he proves himself a worthy companion over dinner, with a rich and flavoursome personality that enriches the evening. A most approachable young man, he offers quiet but thought-provoking nuances that leave you with something to think about. When the time comes for you to go home, he’ll more often than not take your arm in a gentle grip and leave you with a parting gesture that makes you smile as you step out into the night. An intriguing character, he inspires you to watch him age through the next decade to see what delights he might offer up.

2016 Pierro Pino’s

LORD PINO’S
The Eccentric Uncle
The PIERRO Household would not be complete without beloved Uncle Pino’S. An elegantly slim gentleman, he invariably dresses in a weighty velvet jacket with a fine, silk cravat. His cologne leaves hints of briar and brambly aromas as he wanders about the room, gesticulating with expressive, aristocratic hands and bristling with his mustachios with pleasure at his own quick wit. He talks of red cherries and blackberries with a playful glint in his eye and a concentration that gives way to a bright, even vibrant personality. Delightful company in the moment, although he can occasionally benefit from a brief spell in the cellar… but don’t expect him to remember your name if you leave him down there for too long!

Favoured Listening
Mozart Piano Concerto No.27 in B Allegro (part 3)
Gentle, light but with weighty moments - playful and sophisticated.
Pierro Pino’S 2016
The 2016 is wonderfully perfumed with wild berry and red cherry aromas. It is medium-bodied with a bit more weight due to the 14% shiraz component that has been added. The result is underlying power, richness and depth to add to its juicy, easy drinking style. Silky, smooth and stylish. Perfect with Chinese roast duck and BBQ’d meats, especially when served slightly chilled on those warm balmy evenings.

2015 Pierro Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Reserve

THE DUKE OF WILLYABRUP
M’lud Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Reserve
Formal Head of the PIERRO Household, he stands tall, elegant and impeccably dressed in tasteful silk fabrics and a structured top hat. His quiet manner belies a subtle complexity of character derived from his exotic heritage; although predominantly of Cabernet and Merlot descent, his bloodlines reveal a hint of Cabernet Franc and a firm grasp of European linguistics. His understated presence belies a man of intelligence, refinery and subtle strength of character - like many a Duke, he defers to his formidable wife to charm their guests, preferring to linger in the billiards room where friends might join him for a fine cigar.
