Tasting Notes
Every year this wine is bright luscious and juicy. Satisfying. Elegant. This is no different. Black plum, blueberry, raspberry ‚– this is soft and juicy on the palate, the tannins are fine grained and balanced. The relatively low alcohol of 13.5% makes this a pleasure to drink. The fruit is quenching, the savoury oak frames the red and black fruits. This wine always comes off as so sweet on release due to the feel of it in the mouth and the plump red fruit; with age it softens and opens up. The texture morphs into a more gravelly mouthfeel and the sweet fruit gains in complexity. A very interesting wine to watch over time. - Erin Larkin
Picardy is a family-owned estate in Western Australia’s Pemberton region, founded in 1993 by Bill and Sandra Pannell—pioneers of Moss Wood in Margaret River—together with their son Dan. Drawn to Pemberton’s high rainfall, cool climate and gravelly soils, the family established one of the region’s benchmark vineyards, planted to Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Cabernet varieties. The vineyards are dry-grown and farmed with a focus on sustainability, producing fruit of natural balance and concentration.
In the cellar, the Pannells favour a restrained, traditional approach: hand harvesting, wild ferments, gentle handling, and judicious use of French oak. Their Pinot Noir, modelled on the great wines of Burgundy, has become particularly acclaimed, while the Chardonnay and Bordeaux-inspired blends reflect both varietal clarity and regional freshness.
Today, Picardy stands as one of Australia’s leading cool-climate estates, producing wines of elegance, structure and longevity, underpinned by a deep respect for terroir and family tradition.
