Picardy WinesPemberton,Western AustraliaAll wines bearing the Picardy label are made entirely from fruit grown on the Picardy vineyard and are vintaged and bottled by thePannell Family. The red wines are noted for their vibrant colours and intensity of fine-grained tannins. The Chardonnay is producedin a delicate, refined style in keeping with the great wines of Burgundy. These wines all have pronounced structure and intenseflavour. They are made to be drinkable in their youth and have certainly proved the test of time.The latest Picardy wines are superb. A 2003 Chardonnay is marvelously Burgundy-like in its hazelnutty…lees complexities and lovely layered, taut,…finely textured palate. There are a deliciously foresty, fleshy, undergrowth 2002 Pinot Noir, a leaner, morenervy but fiercely intense '01 Tete de Cuvee Pinot Noir, an impressively concentrated, gamey, spicy, fleshy cool-climate '02 Shiraz..Huon Hooke, Good Living December 14th, 2004.
