Description

Peter Dredge has plenty of experience working with Tassie Gamay, largely through his work at Meadowbank, so it's exciting to see him have a crack under the Dr. Edge label. This 2025 release is a 100% whole-cluster fermented Gamay from the Derwent Valley, made with the same blueprint as his much-loved 2018 release from Oregon.

The winemaking is very classic for Gamay: 15 days on skins, finished in stainless, and then tucked away in seasoned oak for nine months. It’s bottled without any fining or filtration, resulting in a wine that Dredge describes as sitting perfectly between Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir - it has more weight and "crunch" than the former but is lighter and more ethereal than the latter.

This is a tiny, 40-case production that was mostly destined for Dr. Edge members and the Dark Mofo festival, but we got our mits on a few cases. It’s juicy, spicy, and exactly the kind of expressive, slightly wild red that has made the Dr. Edge project a cult favourite.

Dr Edge Gamay is a 100% whole cluster fermented Derwent Valley Gamay. Left on skins and rachis for 15 days and pressed to steel tanks to finish ferment, it eventually made its way to seasoned oak for a 9 month elevage. This wine is heavier than my Pinot Meunier but lighter than a Pinot Noir. Bottled without filtration or fining - its made exactly the same way as the much lauded 2018 Dr Edge - 'Willamette Valley' Gamay, but from back home here in good old Tasmania.

Dr. Edge

Peter Dredge is Dr. Edge. He is one of the most intuitive and talented winemakers on the Apple Isle.

With a wealth of experience garnered at wineries such as Bay of Fires, he has revitalised the Meadowbank label and returned it to its place as one of the must-watch vineyards in Tasmania.

Dr. Edge is his passion project where he can take risks and make Pinot Noir, Chardonnay & Riesling that truly excites him. His creativity can fly under the Dr. Edge banner and wines that walk a fine line of tension, funk and freshness invariably arise.

Only small batches of wine is produced, all made by hand, and typically they sell out in short order. Playful, pleasurable and remarkably thoughtful, the Dr. Edge creations are riveting things to drink and have rightfully earned cult status among collectors of Tasmania's finest.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
