Tasting Notes
Aroma
Floral, highly perfumed, berries and dried leafy spice.
Appearance
Bright purple hues.
Palate
Rustic and shaped palate with juicy red fruits and
crunchy cranberry acidity. Fine acid line and glossy
tannins with a persistent, yet elegant finish.
Vinification
Fruit for this wine was hand-picked to keep whole bunches
intact at harvest, and then destemmed without crushing to allow
for whole-berry fermentation in 2T open fermenters. A portion
of the bunches were held back for a 100% whole bunch ferment
to achieve carbonic maceration. As soon as the ferment was
complete and zero baumé recorded, the fruit was pressed. The
wine was then matured in seasoned oak for six months.
Range Notes
Gamay originates from France in the region of Beaujolais but
has recently found a welcoming home in the Adelaide Hills.
Gamay is light in body with low tannins and vibrant acidity,
making it a marvel to pair with a variety of food.
