Highly-rated 94 points by wine critics. "Fermented in open top concrete tank, 15% whole bunches with de-stemmed berries left uncrushed for gentle extraction, 9 months maturation in foudre and barrique. The maker sees gamay as a natural fit for Beechworth. You have to agree. It combines the fineness of red berried expression with an extra depth of fruit concentration that is impressive. Mixes a touch of savouriness, an autumnal blend of earthiness and leaves, with black cherries, cassis, dried herbs and a light pepperiness. Smooth as you like across the middle palate, finishing with a bright ping of acidity. Gamay gets serious." - Halliday Wine Companion
Gamay is a medium bodied red wine and a natural fit for Beechworth’s climate, elevation and soil. Grown on the Estate vineyard and inspired by the best Cru Beaujolais, this is a Gamay to be taken seriously. Fermented in a large open topped concrete tank with 15% whole bunches. Destemmed berries were left uncrushed, allowing for gentle extraction and maintaining purity of fruit. Aged in foudre and barrique for nine months.
Cool earth, mulchy undergrowth, impressions of purple fruit and woody spice. An expressive wine with a structure suiting medium term ageing. A pure and vibrant expression of Australian Gamay.
Description
Beechworth, with its continental climate, is surely a good place to grow Gamay. And Chardonnay. I’m typing quickly here, because I left my charger elsewhere, and I’m about to run out of power…
Raspberry, black cherry, hazelnut, a bit spicy and autumnal too, mint and dried flowers, but you know what, it most certainly speaks to the grape variety, and also has a cool steel-like inflection, which is very nice. It’s medium-bodied, succulent, red and black fruited, a bit earthy and nutty, balanced acidity, with a fine sooty tannin finish of excellent length offering some almond paste richness. Yum. So good.
