Description

Gamay is a grape growing in popularity in Australia, and those who work with it tend to love what it can offer.

The Adelaide Hills have become a popular region for growing the grape, and the Worlds Apart Blue Eyes Gamay is a demonstration of what can be achieved.

While it's quite a savoury wine, there is some lovely primary, red fruits on show and some acid zing to keep things lively. With lovely balance between all the different components, this is a Gamay that is sure to please.

93 points, "Three clones of gamay co-planted, and from young vines; 100% whole bunch. Red fruits sit front and centre, with whole-bunch, white peppery spice seasoning. This shows a little more flesh than last year, and pleasingly so. Smashed tart red cherries, sour plum and a little kirsch. Happily, this looks distinctly varietal, and is not a pinot noir lookalike, with cherry-pit pithiness and crisp natural acid refreshment pleasing features." - Marcus Ellis (Halliday Wine Companion)

Three clones of gamay co-planted on the Eureka vineyard, facing East, on an old gold mine at Woodside. A single 100% whole bunch ferment, this walks the tightrope of textured strawberry compote and high energy freshness. The last thing we pick for the year, a young vineyard that has already survived bushfire and has such overwhelming promise as a great site in the Hills.

Worlds Apart

Worlds Apart is the small adventurous label of winemaker Louis Schofield and chef Hannah Jeffery.

Louis was the protege and assistant winemaker of the late Taras Ochota. From the Ochota Barrels wine studio Louis sharpened his winemaking skills and attacks the World Apart wines with a similar low-intervention but high attention to detail philosophy.

The grapes come from small local growers who farm with a sustainable ideology. These are small-batch, high-energy wines that pop out of the glass with loads of personality.
