2024 Gamay

A$35.00

Gamay is a favourite of ours, light in colour but delivers intensity and flavour on the palate.

Aromas of redcurrant and violets, soft tannins, savoury with a hint of toasty oak. 40% carbonic maceration on whole bunches, matured for 8 months in old oak.

Versatile with food matching but try me with an aged Comte cheese and a charcuterie board.

Vintage: 2024 

Region: Tumbarumba

Vineyards: Moppity

Varieties: Gamay 100%

Alcohol: 13.5%

Production: 170 dozen .

Vinification: The Tumbarumba fruit was hand picked.

40% carbonic maceration for 2 weeks in closed ferment containers, 60% fermented in small open fermenters (7days). .

3 different yeasts were used. Once fermented the wine was pressed into hogsheads (French barrels) - 1 new barrel with the remaining barrels  2, 3 and 4 years old.

The wine remained in barrel for 10 months before being bottled, unfiltered on the 15th November 2024.

What The Reviewers Are Saying

Wineline(Gilbert Labour) Silver

“The aromas are initially restrained but has layers of aromas and flavours channeling red berries, fennel fronds and violets unfurl. Green leaf undertones, probably from the 40% Carbonic maceration component, add some intrigue and interest to the multi layered palate journey. This Sapling Yard Gamay 2024 is definitely not in the Nouveau style. It is currently dormant and brooding with solid potential to reward some cellaring maturation.”

“There’s a real box of chocolates vibe to the Sapling Yard range with wines from all over southern NSW, usually made in micro volumes. Look at this Tumbarumba Gamay. It’s a lucid, bright and alpine, yet there is this red lolly carbonic twiggy juiciness too, like red lollies with a herb crust. You could close your eyes and imagine it’s a Pinot, albeit a light one, and it has real joy.”
