2023 Fire Gully by Pierro Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, Margaret River, Western Australia

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. Co-fermented with a touch of Viognier, the Fire Gully Shiraz is a deep coloured wine displaying aromas of black cherry jam and spicy blackberry. The palate is soft and supple, with generous fruit and fine tannins.
