Description

The bouquet of the 2024 Gamay shows cherry and plum with some earthy undertones. The aromas follow onto the palate combining with integrated acid and refined tannins which create a very well-balanced wine, finishing with great length.  - Barry Morey, Sorrenberg Winemaker

The style of Gamay we produce is a combination of traditional Gamay techniques. There is 10% Pinot Noir used in the blend. Half of the Gamay was cold macerated where the fruit is picked cold, crushed and left to soak for 4 days before fermentation starts. 10- 20% of the fruit is left whole in all ferment. Fermentation with natural yeast is for 2 weeks on skins, after which the wine is pressed and matured in oak for eleven months.

2022 Sorrenberg Gamay - Biodynamic farmed and raised, as always. This release seemingly in the glassier, purer, lither spectrum, again, or is it more a motif now? Dunno. GW had a crack at this one, I think, and saw something oakier and beefier, I have a feeling something in storage let that glass down for him. This is far from that. Sheesh, could be pelaverga or sits somewhere a few pay grades above rose. It’s a killer. This is 10% pinot noir and 20% is whole bunch of the gamay fruit.
All crystalline and pure, tart red cherry, licks and whiffs of fennel and anise, alpine herbs. Crisp with each sip, tat work of the laciest tannins almost ever, succulence through the long, bright, botanical-laced and red fruited finish. Barely there clove, maybe, a sniff of turned earth, perhaps, but really this is about ultimate drinkability in a sleek and sexy frame with vibrant fruit to the fore. Top flight release, almost unnervingly. - 96 Points - Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
