We have been growing Gamay Noir in our estate vineyard since 1994, and have just shy of a half acre dedicated to it.  Since it's first release in 2019, our Gamay has been exclusively from our own vineyard.

Gamay grapes are the last to be harvested in our estate vineyard, and the fruit for this 2023 rendition was picked in late September  We retained about 30% of the whole clusters, with the balance gently destemmed.  After a 16 day maceration/fermentation the new wine flowed directly into neutral barrels. The wine stayed in the cellar for a full year, and was bottled the following winter.

In the warm 2023 growing season, the fruit achieved full ripeness while retaining it's distinctive "gamay-ness". Look for primary grape flavors and spicy aromas, medium body, and freshness on the palate. Serve at cool cellar temperature with simple grilled foods. This is not a wine for ageing, so enjoy it in it’s youth!
