90 Points – James Halliday 2020

Imagine a vineyard as the sun is rising, the clouds are tinged with orange and there is dew on the grass. A young crew from all over the world is hand picking grapes. These grapes go on to be gently pressed and fermented, crispy cold to retain aroma and finesse.

The wine is released as fresh as the morning it was picked and you are there drinking it with a glass in one hand a freshly shucked oyster in the other. In contrast to its better known sibling,

The PIERRO L.T.C, the Fire Gully Sauvignon Blanc Semillon is unoaked, has more sauvignon blanc (78% ) and is made in an early-drinking style to emphasize its aromatics, freshness and vibrant fruit flavours. The 2017 vintage was slightly cooler for Margaret River: perfect for sauvignon blanc!

Delicate and aromatic with hints of gooseberry and asparagus – a classic sauvignon blanc semillon blend. Best when chilled, as indeed we all are! Ideal cellaring temperature is a constant 14-16°C

Description

Margaret River

4 Star Rated Winery – By James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion 2020

Fire Gully is what the French would call the second or sister wine of the iconic Pierro estate – whom own and operate this small boutique vineyard located in the heart of Margaret River’s renowned Wilyabrup sub-region. Fire Gully is in the vanguard of premier wineries in the region and consistently produces vibrant, fruit-driven wines of great elegance and style for drinking in the short term. Situated in Western Australia’s deep southwest at latitude 34°south, Wilyabrup boasts a pristine, virtually pollution-free environment and gentle Mediterranean-maritime climate, making the region ideal for the production of fine wines.

A family run vineyard with a focus on quality and value, the range is enjoyed throughout Australia and overseas, and offers quintessentially Margaret River red and white styles. Dr Michael Peterkin of Pierro winery purchased the nearby Fire Gully property in 1998, which is also one of the most beautiful and unique properties on the Cape.

Mike Peterkin believes that it will one day produce fruit rival to that of Pierro vineyard. That’s a big call but one that the quietly determined Michael Peterkin could just pull off. Since acquiring Fire Gully, the vineyard has been tidied up and all trellising has been changed to Scott Henry to give the fruit the maximum exposure to the sun. Like all the region’s best vineyards, Fire Gully vineyard is planted on what is known as Wilyabrup soil (gravely loam over friable clay with a significant component of loose granite rock).
