Tasting Notes
If it wasn't a full bodied powerful 14.5% Pinot I would think it was not made true to its style. But true to taste style it delivers - right upfront you get the sweet hit of vibrant dark cherry-like fruit and oak. And don't even think about drinking it without food. I loved it with barbecued chicken marinated in soy and honey, with grilled fennel and pumpkin. Good dose of acidity and tannin to handle the richer food too. Yes, tasty food and tasty wine. - Michael L
Picardy produces wines of finesse and complexity; Sauvignon Blanc Semillon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Shiraz and Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc. All Picardy wines are made to be drinkable in their youth, but will reward cellaring. The red wines of Picardy are particularly noted for their vibrant colours and intense fine grained tannins, a hallmark of the Pemberton region.. The Chardonnay is produced in a delicate, refined style in keeping with the great wines of Burgundy. - Winery Note
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.
