Winemakers comments
These wines represent vineyard and varietal combinations which are recognised for excellence from South Australia's cool climate growing regions. We aim for nothing but the highest standards of quality for these small batch wines, drawing on our exceptional fruit sources and our skilled and experienced winemaking team.

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.

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.
