Shop Fire Gully
Origin of the Name
Fire Gully earned its name from the destructive forces of two major bushfires that struck the gully in the heart of the property. These significant events occurred in 1952 and 1970, leaving a lasting mark on the land. Nestled away from the main road, Fire Gully's vineyard remains a hidden treasure, shielded by a long, narrow strip that stretches towards the main paddocks. The vineyard's allure lies in its remarkable beauty, offering breathtaking views from the elevated blocks that overlook the dam, vineyards, and untouched bushland.
Roots of the Property
Since 1946, Fire Gully has been in the capable hands of Ellis and Margaret Butcher, esteemed pioneers of the region. In 1988, they embarked on a journey by planting vines on their farm, setting the stage for Fire Gully's future. In 1998, the property found a new custodian in Michael Peterkin, known for his association with Pierro. Michael continued to expand the vineyard, planting additional vines in the subsequent years, cementing Fire Gully's growth and legacy.
A Unique Location
Strategically located adjacent to Moss Wood and a mere kilometre away from Pierro Vineyards, Fire Gully thrives in the influence of the brook system that traverses its grounds, eventually reaching the coastline four kilometres away. The cooling sea breeze makes its way up the brook, gently moderating the summer temperatures in the vineyard. This distinct microclimate contributes to the exceptional character and flavour profile of Fire Gully wines.
