2025 Howard Vineyard Estate Gamay
2025 Howard Vineyard Estate Gamay
Gamay is a light-bodied red wine similar in taste to Pinot Noir, growers like us in the Adelaide Hills are becoming very excited about the variety. With elevated acidity and little to no tannin structure, the wine is straightforward to drink and exhibits flowery aromas and tart flavors of red fruits like cherry, raspberry, cranberry, and red currant.
Enjoy our 2025 Howard Vineyard Gamay with fish, and salty, roast chicken and veggies.
Winemaking
Clones are separately hand picked, 10% whole bunch ferments in small 2t batches. Hand plunged twice per day with pump overs, ensuring maximum oxygen for healthy yeast and soft pick up of colour and tannin. Aged in 100% French oak 500L barrels for 6 months.
Bouquet
Bouquet of a wine with a vibrant, youthful and expressive nose. Raspberry, sloe berries, toffee apple and a hint of juniper are all present in what is a lifted and berry driven nose. Looking a little deeper, baked earth, truffle and violet notes all feature.
Palate
Palate is clean and juicy. Refreshing acidity, gentle tannins and a savoury backbone. Raspberry, cranberry and blackcurrent define the fruit profile, which is followed by a touch of black pepper and kalamata olive.
