Description

Here's a great value Gamay from one of New Zealand's top tier winemaking estates.

Around half the wine was fermented as whole berries (as is the tradition in the variety's spiritual home of Beaujolais). This has resulted in a light-bodied, high-toned juicy red that works perfectly with a slight chill.

It's a wine that you can enjoy any night of the week. Spot on release from Te Mata and a joy to drink.

    Love !

    I love this soft gentle red. My daughter had bought a bottle from a well known Melbourne wine store for me to try. I bought half a dozen so much cheaper from you. Thanks.

SOURCED EXCLUSIVELY FROM TE MATA ESTATE’S OWN VINEYARDS, THE ESTATE WINES REPRESENT THE BEST QUALITIES OF THEIR VARIETY, VINTAGE, AND HAWKE’S BAY ORIGIN.

**Vineyards**

In 1995, Te Mata Estate introduced to New Zealand a superior selection of Gamay Noir à Jus Blanc, the grape variety of the best wines of France’s Beaujolais region. Estate Gamay Noir ’24 is a single vineyard wine from Te Mata Estate’s Woodthorpe Terraces vineyard.

**Winemaking**

The unique ‘maceration carbonique’ fermentation, which enhances the fruit and floral aromas of the wine, was used for 65% of the grapes. The other 35% received a traditional, warm, red wine fermentation. The resulting wines completed their malolactic fermentation and were matured for eight weeks in seasoned French oak barrels, before blending and bottling.

**Tasting Note**

Estate Gamay Noir ’24 is a deep candy red, bursting with ripe red fruit appeal and laden with detail. On the nose it’s all cherry, strawberry and ripe, fresh raspberry with the complexing notes of marzipan, cinnamon and liquorice. There’s a lush French vanilla creaminess on the palate, with length, a little dryness, and a splash of sweet red-fruit acidity. This structure, and the fine-grained tannins add further dimension to the juicy red fruit and spice. Estate Gamay Noir ’24 is a classic Te Mata example – simply delicious

**Food Match**

Estate Gamay Noir ’24 is an incredibly versatile wine, partnering with any food and is particularly good with tapas, matching its vibrant fruit and soft tannins.

**Cellaring Potential**

Estate Gamay Noir ’24 can be enjoyed immediately upon release and can be served at room temperature or, during summer, lightly chilled. It will continue to develop in bottle for two years from harvest.
