Tim Gramp Clare Valley Watervale Shiraz 2014 pierro Winemaker Franco Massolino has done

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

The palate is crisp and fresh

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

It is low pressure and therefore only gently sparkling in the true Pétillant style

Tim Gramp Clare Valley Watervale Shiraz 2014 pierro Winemaker Franco Massolino has doneThe 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.
