Over the years, these old vines have developed into a highly prized source of fruit, yielding small quantities of exceptional grapes. The name 'Nunc Tempus Est', meaning 'Now is the time', reflects the moment when this remarkable wine has come to fruition.\u003cbr data-start=\"585\" data-end=\"588\"\u003eThe grapes for this wine were handpicked in the cool of the morning, gently pressed, and fermented under careful conditions to preserve the freshness and purity of the fruit. The wine was then matured in a combination of stainless steel and mature French oak barrels, ensuring a perfect balance of texture and complexity. Fresh and vibrant, this wine showcases a unique style of Chenin Blanc that is both bone-dry and deeply flavourful, with aromas and flavours of honey, straw, and apples. The wine is powerful yet controlled, making it an excellent choice for cellaring, where it will continue to evolve beautifully over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1230\" data-end=\"1917\"\u003e\u003c!-- x-tinymce\/html --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePierro is a prestigious winery in Margaret River, Western Australia, founded by Dr. Michael Peterkin, whose passion for winemaking is rivaled only by his devotion to the land.

Highly perfumed with lavender, green olives in brine, mastic verging on the smell of just-cut raw pine wood. There’s a lot going here: textural with barely ripe Packham pears, raw quince flavour and phenolics with a slip of creaminess. Super dry on the finish, super delicious to drink. \u003cstrong\u003e- Special Value, Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion, 94 Points.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen apple, apricot, green pear, lemon myrtle and honey, a coverlet of spicy oak. It's juicy, lots of flavour here, but tight too, and the texture is excellent offering some chalky grip and glossy feel, and it sports a cinch of dried herb and quinine bitterness on a long finish. It's powerful Chenin, yet it's balanced and controlled.
