Description
Gamay is reputed to be the next big red grape variety in NZ and especially Hawkes Bay. And this latest release from Esk Valley Artisanal Collection 2021 Gamay Noir shows why. A single vineyard wine from fruit grown in the Two Terraces Vineyard in Mangatahi. Grown on a stony river terrace formed by the Ngaruroro River, this is a warm site with cool nighttime temperatures,
ideal for growing an earlier ripening varieties such as Gamay. The grapes were fermented in a single concrete fermenter with wild yeasts and the inclusion of 50% whole clusters. Hand plunged only, in the pursuit of a light and fragrant wine. After a brief period of maceration, the wine was pressed into 500 and 600-litre French oak barrels where it aged on lees for nine months. Bottled without fining or filtration. 390 cases bottled. That is a tiny number of bottles, if you want to taste that next new thing, then grab a bottle or two now.
