Whitty Vineyard Gamay 2024
Tasting Notes
Bright ruby in the glass with intense and complex aromas of fresh raspberries, red currants, and sour cherries with earthy aromas of mushroom, violets, and a touch of minerality. On the palate it is bright and fresh with juicy acidity, silky tannins and delicious flavours of fresh raspberry and candied raspberry, pomegranate, with a touch of spice and black pepper. The finish is long and refreshing and a pure example of Gamay.

WINEMAKING NOTES
Harvested in early October from our Whitty Vineyard in Creek Shores, the grapes were sorted in the vineyard and again in the winery to ensure only the best fruit remained. The grapes were immediately crushed and destemmed and fermented in open top stainless-steel tanks with regular punching down to extract colour and structure. After malolactic fermentation, the wine remained in stainless steel tanks until it was lightly fined and filtered prior to bottling in August 2023.
