In 1979, while working at Cullen Wines, Peterkin produced Australia's first Semillon Sauvignon Blanc — a blend he borrowed from the great white wines of Bordeaux and Pessac-Léognan, and which went on to win a trophy at the Perth Royal Show. So convinced was he of the blend's potential in Margaret River that when he established Pierro in 1980, he devoted a third of the estate's plantings to the two varieties. The wine he created — the L.T.C., which stands for \u003cem\u003e'A Little Touch of Chardonnay'\u003c\/em\u003e, a nod to the small percentage of Chardonnay blended in to add texture and complexity — has been judged over the last 40+ years as not only the first, but one of the finest expressions of the style in Australia. The 2024 vintage in Margaret River delivered a long, cool growing season with excellent natural acidity and fruit purity — producing an L.T.C. of exceptional freshness, precision, and immediate drinking pleasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003ePale straw with a bright, luminous clarity. The nose is immediately fresh, aromatic, and inviting — lemon juice, lemon zest, and white grapefruit lead with vibrant citrus precision, followed by notes of quince, fresh herbs, and a subtle creamy texture from the wine's Chardonnay component. A lovely floral lift adds elegance and aromatic complexity. On the palate, medium-bodied and racy — juicy, puckering acidity, a silky mid-palate with a touch of creamy texture, and a long, clean, citrus-driven finish with excellent freshness and persistence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle \u0026amp; Drinking Window\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eVibrant, racy, and aromatic Margaret River Semillon Sauvignon Blanc with a touch of Chardonnay texture and excellent freshness.
