Working at Cullen’s at the time, the wine went on to win a trophy at the Perth Royal Show. In 1980 he was so convinced of the blend’s potential in Margaret River he devoted a third of the Pierro plantings to the varieties. Les Trois Cuvees was the original name for the wine, which those in the trade knew as the L.T.C. A few years later the French started dropping atom bombs in the pacific and anything that contained a connotation to being associated with the French was dead in the water. So the name was changed to Pierro Semillon Sauvigon Blanc. But people kept asking about where the 'L.T.C.' had gone. So, the name was changed to Semillon Sauvignon Blanc L.T.C. Although the name L.T.C. originally stood for 'Les Trois Cuvees', over time at the cellar door numerous guests postulated on what L.T.C. was an acronym for. One day in summer a lady arrived and asked whether L.T.C. stood for \"a Little Touch of Chardonnay' and the staff member serving replied with \"well yes, I guess it does\". Moving forward 15 years and L.T.C. standing for a little touch of Chardonnay had stuck. So much that most people drinking it just called it by the letters. The varietal composition of the blend contains Semillon (50%) which gives the wine the ability to mature gracefully, Sauvignon Blanc (43%) to provide the delicate perfumed aroma and youthful fresh flavour and Chardonnay (7%) which completes the wine providing body power. L.T.C. is a light dry wine, delicious when young but has the capacity and backbone to mature and develop in the bottle. Flavours of citrus, pear, green apple, melon and tropical fruit.

Every wine tells a story and this is the story of Cabernet Sauvignon, the flagship red grape variety of Margaret River. The original Cabernet vines were introduced to Western Australia between 1836 and 1895, most likely from South Africa. In the 1930s the legendary Houghton winemaker Jack Mann took cuttings from selected old bush vines in the Swan Valley and established a 1.6 hectare planting known as the \"Houghton Cabernet Block\". He was firmly of the view that grapes from this block could be used to make outstanding wine. In the 1960's the Department of Agriculture, through several years of evaluation, refined this block and selected the best quality vines, 21 in all from a planting of 2,200. These vines were planted in \"foundation blocks\" at Gin Gin in 1970 and at Frankland River in 1973. Over the next 40 years these vines were further evaluated and, in 2012, six \"super\" selections were released. The team at Pierro have chosen what they consider the best three to form the basis of this wine. Hand picked, bunch and berry selected prior to fermentation as whole berries in open-top fermenters. Hand plunged with 39 days on skins prior to pressing and maturing in oak barrique for 18 months. A leafy, delicate Cabernet Sauvignon, with very finely milled tannins and layers of red and purple fruit in the mouth. A cool mineral profile, and a gentle chalkiness on the middle palate highlight the fruit. Hints of coffee bean, mint and bay leaf add complex layers to this understated wine, which finishes with salinity and great elegance.
