Mike Pertikin produced the first Semillon Sauvignon Blanc in Margaret River in 1979 when he was making wine for Kevin and Di Cullen. That wine was labelled Semillon Sauvignon Blanc and sold as such. Dr Peterkin never claimed any originality for the idea, he simply borrowed it from the French. What he did do was create a new style which emphasized aroma, freshness and fruit character. He believes that this was the first Semillon Sauvignon Blanc produced in Australia.

There’s been plenty of media attention paid to the quality and longevity of the PIERRO L.T.C. in the last couple of years – with James Halliday, Peter Bourne & John Fordham adding their voices in support of its quality. The ‘sold out’ sign seems to go up earlier each year as well. 


50% Semillon, 45% Sauvignon Blanc, 5% Chardonnay

Handpicked, hand-sorted, gently whole-bunch pressed. 20% fermented and matured in new and one & two year-old French oak. 80% fermented and matured in stainless steel.
This is the wine of great intensity and concentration, typical of a good Margaret River vintage.  Lemon rind & zest combine with tropical fruit flavours all in balance with smooth texture and a long dry finish. Most approachable now.

A refreshing take on the SBS partnership with a glug of chardonnay, fermented in stainless steel except 25% goes into new French barriques. It's quite racy with lemon sorbet acidity keeping the sweet fruit in check. Smoky with delicious flavours of honeydew, sugar snap, limes and lemon juice with grapefruit pith texture.
