Tim Gramp Clare Valley Watervale Shiraz 2014 pierro The wine ferments and ages

The wine ferments and ages in oak barrels with regular bâtonnage and is bottled after 18 months

with linearity and grip - the melding of fruit skins and soil running the show and finishing with a nice metal-mineral acid thread

Winemaker Franco Massolino has done a wonderful job of marrying change with a respect for tradition

but the terroir really reveals itself after at least five years of ageing

Tim Gramp Clare Valley Watervale Shiraz 2014 pierro The wine ferments and agesThe fruit for this wine was sourced off Paddy and Maxine Brazels single site vineyard located in the township of Watervale. A seductive, full bodied style exhibiting spice and blackberry aromas. The complex berry flavours are a result of time honoured basket pressing, balanced with fine tannins and subtle oak, finishing with length and depth. Time in the cellar of 7 10 years.
