GAMAY

An Alternative Variety Well Worth a Try

You may not have heard of the Gamay grape but you almost certainly would have heard of Beaujolais, with its rolling blue granite-based hills, north west of Lyons. And Beaujolais wine depends entirely on the Gamay grape.

Because the world’s wine lovers have been taught to revere alcohol and deep colours in their red wines, Gamay has not had many fans outside Europe. There is however one famous (or perhaps infamous) exception. In the late 1970s a young American businessman called Charles Shaw decided to invest his small fortune in a Napa Valley winery, and because he loved Beaujolais, he decided to concentrate on Gamay.

Gamay is starting to make an appearance in Australia and the Marc Wines Gamay is a light to medium intensity red that displays intense strawberries and cream characters with hints of cherry, licorice, stalk and spice.

The Marq Wines Gamay is a medium bodied wine with good fruit intensity and demonstrates the classic strawberry and cream flavours associated with the variety. The wine also exhibits cherry, mushroom and rhubard characters with hints of clove. The tannins are soft fine and supple and the flavour persistent and a long.

Serve slightly chilled.

Enjoy!
