Winemaker notes

Estate Gamay Noir 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 is a classic Te Mata example – simply delicious.

James Suckling 91: A fresh and clean gamay with some cherry and floral character. Hints of bubblegum in a fun way. Light to medium body. Crisp. Crunchy and delicious. Drink now. Screw cap.
