"Inspired by the classic Beaujolais, this modern rendition offers richer fruit intensity and body, while remaining vibrant and refreshing. Aromas of raspberry coulis, red cherry, stone fruit and floral lead to a bright and lively palate that is juicy and smooth." Sam Kim Wine Orbit

Candy-apple crimson with a lifted confectionery nose of  wild strawberries, Estate Vineyards Gamay Noir ’16 shows ripe, juicy cherry and cranberry on the palate, with just a hint of cinnamon and liquorice. As picnic-perfect as berries and cream, Estate Vineyards Gamay Noir ’16 is soft and supple, with a lingering finish of bright, fresh red fruit.

Estate Vineyards Gamay Noir ’16 is an incredibly versatile wine, partnering with any food and is particularly good with spicy cuisines, matching its vibrant fruit and soft tannins.

The unique ‘maceration carbonique’ fermentation, which enhances the fruit and floral aromas of  the wine, was used for 55% of  the grapes. The other 45% 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.

Estate Vineyards Gamay Noir ’16 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
