Distinctive violet floral are associated with Cab Franc specifically violets, bright red fruit like raspberry and cherry and can also have a nuance of herbs or peppers. Gamay / Gamay Noir originates from Beaujolais France, the grape can also go under the alias Beaujolais. This variety is known for incredibly easy drinking red wines. Offering the lightest style of red wine it is full of strawberry, tuitti fruitti cherry and low tannin. Gamay can also have richer characteristics of plum, pepper, and earth.

Winemaker’s Notes:

We have made this blend of Gamay and Cab for a couple of years and it always impresses me! Estate grown fruit that resulted in a rich full bodied wine – the flavour profile is bang on with full tannin. A stellar wine – single barrel produced only 300L and unfiltered.
