- TASTING NOTE: "A bolder and immediately more powerful statement of this wine, reflecting a warm vintage. Yet the cooler Pemberton region has reigned it in nicely providing control and precision. A savoury and slightly mushroomy aroma with primary black cherry notes. The palate has a density and life yet with medium to light body. Layered and detailed throughout to a sustained long finish. Make sure you decant to allow the sweet fruit characters to release." 95 Points - Ray Jordan Wine
- ABOUT THE WINE: The Picardy site was specially selected in Pemberton for its high altitude and well drained gravely loam soils. This is cool climate viticulture at its best. The vines are planted on a north/westerly facing slope for maximum exposure to sunlight. Vine age at time of harvest is 28 years. The vines are dry grown, cane pruned and handpicked, which in turn encourages low yields. In the winery the grapes are 75% destemmed, 25% whole fermented in small open fermenters. The must is given around four days for pre-fermentation maceration and fermented using a range of yeasts. The fermentation takes around 21 days to complete. Post ferment the must is pressed using an airbag press and then settled for two weeks before being racked to barrel. In barrel full malo-lactic fermentation is carried out. This wine is then matured for 10 months on lees in new to four-year-old, small French oak barriques.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Pemberton based Picardy is owned and operated by Bill, Sandra and Dan Pannell. Picardy was established by the family in 1993. Bill and Sandra were pioneers of the Margaret River region, establishing Moss Wood vineyard and winery in 1969. After selling Moss Wood in 1985, the Pannells had an interest in Volnay’s Domaine de la Pousse d’Or, until the purchase of the property in Pemberton. Dan has grown up in the wine industry and in 1993 completed a Bachelors of Science (Oenology) at The University of Adelaide.
