Gamay
Varietal: Gamay
Region: Yarra Valley, Victoria
Country: Australia
Format: 750ml
ABV: 13.8%
Gamay from Yarra Valley; 30% whole bunch, it spent two weeks fermenting on skins in
concrete fermenter then pressed to large format French oak (foudre) for ageing over
winter and spring. Bottled in October. This is a serious Gamay, Leila did a vintage with
Mee Godard in Morgon a couple of years ago. At first this is quite spicy on the nose
(think 'toasted sesame seeds') but then you have some beautiful bright fruit coming
through. - FF
