Pierro Fire Gully Shiraz
Product Information: Co-fermented with a splash of Viognier giving the shiraz a more intensely perfumed bouquet and silkier texture. The 2022 Fire Gully Shiraz is a deep coloured wine, with aromas of black cherry jam and spicy blackberry. The palate is soft and supple, with generous fruit and fine tannins and a savoury, dry finish of considerable length. Maker: You can find Fire Gully Farm & Vineyard right in the heart of Willyabrup, Margaret River. Thanks to their mature vines, ancient gravelly loam soils, vine age, regenerative farming practices and coastal influence, the site is truly unique and creates wines that are a reflection of site and place. Owned, produced and tended to by the team at Pierro Margaret River Vineyards. The property got its name, after two large bush fires, in 1952 and 1970, ravaged the gully in the centre of the block. The Fire Gully vineyard is well-hidden from the road with a long, narrow strip flowing back to the main paddocks: so it's pretty much unknown. It is one of the Willyabrup region's most attractive and spectacular vineyards with views from the higher blocks looking over the dam, vineyards and natural bushland. From 1946 the property was owned and run by Ellis and Margaret Butcher, some of the original pioneers of the region, who planted vines on their farm in 1988. It was purchased by Michael Peterkin of Pierro in 1998. With Michael Peterkin planting further vines on the property in the following years. Fire Gully is adjacent to Moss Wood and a kilometre from Pierro Vineyards. It is influenced by the brook system that runs through the property and out to the coast four kilometres away. The sea breeze drifts up the brook to the vineyard moderating the summer temperatures. All of the grapes are hand picked at sunrise and taken in small buckets to the Pierro winery. From here, the team at Pierro craft the wines under the guidance of Dr. Peterkin, The wines are hand made and blended in small batches. Specialty varieties include, Cabernet sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz, Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. The Fire Gully wines express the very essence of Margaret River regionality and quality and are recognised for consistent excellence with each passing vintage. Vineyard: Pierro pioneered high-density vineyard planting in Margaret River, setting a benchmark as one of the first in Australia. With vine densities ranging from 4,000 to 5,500 per hectare - compared to the conventional 1,900 - this approach enhances vine competition, balances fruit yield, and intensifies flavour. The vineyard's moderately deep laterite gravel soils, interspersed with granite and overlying ancient base rock, are exceptionally well-drained and warm, promoting excellent root development. Pierro wine is a wonderfully complex balance of sensual and fascinating elements. In a world where mediocrity can become a pervasive norm, the wines of Pierro are a shining exception. Nose - Black Plum, Wafts of Vanilla, Sweet Earth Black cherry, earthy beetroot and gentle wafts of vanilla mixed with red earth spices. Palate - Briary, Bramble, Supple Fruit Soft and supple black fruits layered with white pepper and savoury dried herb and spice. Finish - Silky Texture, White Pepper, Spice Spreads broad but fresh, shows feathery, fine tannins over sweet, sweet fruit character. Good length.
