Winemaker's Notes

This is really is a beauty, it’s everything you want in a Gamay – aged 8 months in old barrels to retain its fruity character. Raspberry and cherry fruit waft up from the glass and that fruit comes full circle into the mouth, sweet cherry fruit across the tongue that’s just juicy and fresh right to the finish ... Score – 4 out of 5 MP

Complementary recipes:

  

Serve this wine between 60-65 degrees Farenheit or 15-18 degrees Celsius.
