We finally have our debut Gamay bottled!
Inspired by Beaujolais winemaking techniques, one-third of the wine was made through the traditional semi carbonic maceration style, whilst the remaining two-thirds were fermented in open vat, all solids were then basket pressed and after they saw through 10 months in old French barriques combined. Designed to be fresh and young in expression the wine carries through vibrant fruit characteristics with the subtle tannins that Gamays are known for.
This wine will be available at select few stores and resturants and in our online store.

'15 Lyons Will Pinot Noir - James Halliday - 95 Points
James Halliday - Published on 01 Aug 2017 Estate-grown clones D5V12, D4V2 and 115, open-fermented, 14 days on skins, matured in French oak (33% new) for 16 months. Bright, clear crimson-purple; an altogether impressive wine, all its parts in alignment; the fragrant red flower aromas presage a red cherry, damson plum and spice palate. The wine glides along and across the mouth, fruit to the fore, but cedary oak makes a quiet statement as it joins with superfine tannins on the finish and aftertaste. Drink By 2025 |
