Gamay

Bright in colour with a vibrant hue, this cool climate Gamay shows an abundance of bright red fruits and floral aromatics. The medium bodied palate is bright and crunchy, with juicy, ripe red and black cherry fruit flavours, moderate tannins and a long, crisp and refreshing finish. Following 4 days of cold soaking on skins the fermentation commenced and the skins were gently plunged to extract colour and flavour from the skins. Following fermentation, the wine was pressed to old French oak barrels where it aged on light lees for 10 months after which it was carefully racked and bottled.  Drinks well as a young wine but has the depth of flavour to cellar well for 5 or more years.
