Gamay is a red variety that boasts qualities of early ripening and winter hardiness that makes it a climatic match for cooler microclimates like Beaujolais, the Niagara Peninsula, and the Annapolis Valley. Our first rows were planted in the Gaspereau Valley in 2015. With its innate attributes of elevated acidity, gentle tannins, and low potential alcohol, Gamay is a natural fit for exuberant, fruity wines. These encompass the renowned early release of Beaujolais Nouveau and extend to the recent surge in popularity of new-wave cool-climate red wines, notable for their impressive ageing potential. Our Gamay has received royal treatment to achieve optimal expression of its character. This includes hand harvesting, pre and post fermentation maceration for enhanced structure and depth, and ageing in neutral French oak with full malolactic fermentation for a complex textural profile respectful of the wine’s natural fruitiness. Red wines are rare in our portfolio, yet we never miss an opportunity when the quality is as high and compelling as this particular cuvée.
