2010 Madfish Pinot Noir

Posted on April 21, 2014 by Jeremy Pringle

Fruit is sourced from the Great Southern, Pemberton and the Margaret River. I must admit I’ve only ever enjoyed one Pinot Noir from any of those regions and that was made at Picardy. Early days for the Great Southern though … Continue reading →

2012 Picardy Sauvignon Blanc Semillon

Posted on January 3, 2014 by Jeremy Pringle

It’s probably not that surprising that you don’t hear much about Picardy’s Sauvignon Blanc Semillon given that their website doesn’t even list it amongst the wines they make. Rather strange given the quality on offer. Flowers, spice, talc and lemon/lime … Continue reading →

2010 Picardy Shiraz

Posted on October 29, 2013 by Jeremy Pringle

Good, easy drinking Shiraz from the folks at Picardy in Pemberton. Loose knit, plump, juicy and ripe for the picking. Black and red berries splay across the palate in a languid manner with fresh acidity providing refreshment more than shape. Perfumed … Continue reading →

2010 Picardy Pinot Noir

Posted on October 22, 2013 by Jeremy Pringle

I’ve had limited success with Pinot Noir from Western Australia but Picardy’s Pemberton efforts are a shining beacon. This is in a good place right now but still has time on its side. Sweeter, richer raspberry notes with a subtle … Continue reading →

2011 Picardy Merlimont

Posted on October 20, 2013 by Jeremy Pringle

I’ve not tasted a Picardy Merlimont before and judging from this release, more’s the shame. It’s the same blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc as the standard label reviewed below but there’s a greater sense of gravitas present here. … Continue reading →

2011 Picardy Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc

Posted on October 20, 2013 by Jeremy Pringle

Wines like this make you wonder once more why Australian Merlot dominant blends aren’t given proper respect when it’s due. And that’s not to mention the lack of interest in Australian Franc. I’ll mark most of it down to ignorance and … Continue reading →

2011 Picardy Pemberton Chardonnay

Posted on October 19, 2013 by Jeremy Pringle

Very pleased to be able to cover Picardy on WWEI. A big thanks to those that made it happen. You know who you are. While the 2011 Chardonnay won’t fall over in the next three to five years it’s pretty … Continue reading →

2008 Picardy Chardonnay

Posted on May 8, 2011 by Jeremy Pringle

Pemberton 13.0% Cork $45 I’ve yet to sing properly the praises of Picardy on this site. Yes, I took a look at what the 2006 Chardonnay was up to earlier this year…but that wine was not representative of how good this … Continue reading →

2006 Picardy Chardonnay

Posted on March 11, 2011 by Jeremy Pringle

Pemberton 13.0% Cork $35 Seems I’m on a run of 2006 wines at the moment. Weird. I’m a big fan of Picardy wines and when I got the chance to meet Bill Pannell a couple of years ago I was … Continue reading →
