Meadowbank Gamay 750ml

Since its first release, Meadowbank’s Gamay has generated considerable excitement in the trade. With some foresight, Meadowbank’s original Pinot Block was planted to Gamay in 1987. In 2015, a second small Gamay block (descriptively named ‘Top Woolshed’) joined the ranks. Both are farmed sustainably.

The old-vine fruit went through carbonic and the young vine fruit was entirely destemmed. After fermentation it was pressed straight to inert French oak barriques, where it stayed for three months on lees. The wine was bottled without fining or filtration.
