APPEARANCE
An electric, candy-apple red.

AROMA
Intense wild strawberry, bubble-gum aromatics, and notes of ripe watermelon and red cherry.

PALATE
The palate is goose-down soft, creamy, and lightly spiced with clove, anise, and cinnamon. Estate Gamay Noir '22 is a marriage of tempting textures, and summer-bright, ultra-ripe, red fruit freshness.

FOOD MATCHING
Estate Gamay Noir ’22 is an incredibly versatile wine, partnering well with grilled tuna salad, or turkey with cranberry, and is particularly good with tapas, matching its vibrant fruit and soft tannins.

VINIFICATION
The unique ‘maceration carbonique’ fermentation, which enhances the fruit and floral aromas of the wine, was used for 60% of the grapes. The other 40% received a traditional, warm, red wine fermentation. The resulting wines completed their malolactic fermentation and were matured for nine weeks in seasoned French oak barrels, before blending and bottling.

CELLARING POTENTIAL
Estate Gamay Noir ’22 can be enjoyed immediately upon release and can be served at room temperature or, during summer, lightly chilled. It will continue to develop in bottle for two years from harvest.
