While the 2019 vintage was aged for 9 months in both French and American oak, our winemaker, Philip Dowell, used an older, more neutral oak to preserve this Gamay’s natural fruit-driven character. A brilliant ruby in colour, this wine is elegant and approachable for all palates.
On the nose, lively cranberry, red currant and pomegranate notes are complemented by hints of violet and a touch of earthiness. On the palate, ripe raspberry and bright notes of cherry deepen into darker plum and mulberry characteristics. With gentle tannin and a fuller body than expected, the finish is vibrant, long and structured.
