Gamay Vin Gris 2024
Tasting Notes
Pale pink in the glass. The nose is extremely tropical, with notes of wild strawberry, red raspberry, white peach, and white cherry blossom. The palate is bright and refreshing with mouth-watering acidity and flavours of red grapefruit, basil sorbet, guava wild strawberries with lots of chalky minerality leading to a long, refreshing finish.
Pairs great with goat and sheep cheese with charcuterie, spicy Mexican and fish tacos, fresh asparagus and burrata salads.

WINEMAKING NOTES
Our Gamay Vin Gris is the result of classic white wine-making techniques used on red grapes – full bunches put into the press, free-run juice collected and a very soft pressing, resulting in just the faintest tint of pink. The wine was bottled in January 2024 following a light fining and filtration.
