The Chardonnay specialist. Mike Peterkin's Pierro Chardonnay is widely considered one of Australia's iconic wines — voluptuous, rich, buttery, 100 % malolactic, 50 % new oak, balanced by taut acidity. Set the trend that countless Australian Chardonnays now follow. "Quietly cantankerous" perfectionism.
