{"product_id":"pierro-vr-chardonnay-2021","title":"Pierro VR Chardonnay 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eEach parcel is hand-picked, chilled, hand-sorted and gently whole bunch pressed. There are multiple picks for this wine. With the first batches being picked for aromatic complexity and acidity and the latter picked for flavour and body. All juice is settled and then fermented in French barriques. The wine goes through a full malolactic fermentation which helps achieve superior texture, mouth feel and a more refined, persistent flavour. Lees are stirred fortnightly by hand in barrel over a period of 12 months prior to blending, settling and bottling. The VR is a selection of the best 10 barrels that Pierro produces and is made only in only exceptional vintages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe thing is with wine you only have one chance each year to refine and improve what you do.This also demands a careful balance between tradition and change. So it can take many years to build a body of knowledge. I first made Chardonnay in 1980 and I hope this wine expresses the 40 years of accumulated experience and heritage. - Winemaker Note\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pierro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46704746594552,"sku":"15120","price":159.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/2712\/5752\/files\/PierroVRChardonnay.png?v=1765410899","url":"https:\/\/checkout.reservecellar.com.au\/products\/pierro-vr-chardonnay-2021","provider":"Reserve Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
