Taste Profile

Tasting Notes

Bright ruby in the glass with aromas of red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry. The palate is juicy and vibrant, offering crunchy red fruits, a whisper of spice and soft, silky tannins. Light-bodied but full of personality, this is a Gamay that shines with a gentle chill — refreshing, playful and incredibly moreish.

Winemaking

Organically grown Gamay from high-elevation Orange vineyards is harvested early to preserve freshness. Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel to protect the bright fruit profile, with minimal oak influence to keep the wine lively and pure. Gentle extraction ensures soft tannins and a silky texture, making this a perfect chillable red.

Vineyard & Vintage

Grown in the cool, elevated slopes of Orange, NSW, where long ripening and natural acidity define the region’s red wines. Organic farming enhances fruit purity and vibrancy, while the cool climate helps Gamay retain its signature crunch and aromatic lift.
