Description
WINEMAKER'S COMMENTS
2022 is the inaugural release of Domenica Gamay. This medium bodied red wine is a natural fit for Beechworth’s climate, elevation and soil.
PALATE
Cool earth, mulchy undergrowth, impressions of purple fruit. An expressive wine with a structure suiting medium term ageing.
REGION NOTES
Grafted to established vines in 2019, this first crop of Gamay had the benefit of a mature root system growing deep in the granitic soil of Domenica’s vineyard.
VINIFICATION
Inspired by carefully farmed Cru Beaujolais, this is a Gamay to be taken seriously. Fermented in two equal sized cuvees, one fully destemmed and the other 30% whole bunch. Berries were left whole allowing for gentle extraction and maintaining purity of fruit.
MATURATION
Aged in second, third and fourth fill barriques for 9 months.
