Description

Produced by Otago's legendary producers, Matt & James Dicey.

Captivating Gamay in Beaujolais Cru style with an earthy, meaty character.

Notes of fresh red & dark berries.

Fruity dark flavours and uber complex in taste, this new Gamay from Dicey offers a spectrum of blackcurrant fruit flavours and impressive depth of flavour from 16% whole bunch fermentation while the majority (84%) of fruit was destemmed. Wild yeast fermentation and natural malolactic fermentation were followed by ageing in old oak barrels (considered neutral in terms of flavour).

The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Review
Light, clear ruby. Fresh and lifted red cherry, whole-bunch notes of vine tomato and savoury rosemary preface the light, perfumed palate stained with juicy and tart flavours of cranberry, wild strawberry and banana skins. The tannins are powdery, as light as the palate, giving some structure for the refreshingly balanced streak of acidity and savoury herb. Chalky and fine on the floral finish, this is a delicate style of gamay which can be lightly chilled for immediate enjoyment
