Wine List/Sorrenberg

[SOLD-OUT] Sorrenberg Gamay 2016

"The best Gamay in Australia."

- Mike Bennie, Wine Front

"Cult wine, amazing humans, great farming, super vision for planting this variety a generation ago... The best Gamay in Australia." - Mike Bennie, Wine Front

 

"Half of the Gamay was cold macerated where the fruit is picked, cold crushed and left to soak for 4 days before fermentation started. Of the rest, 20% of the fruit is left whole in the ferment. Fermentation with natural yeast is for 2 weeks on skins, after which the wine is pressed and matured in old oak barriques for eleven months.

 

The nose of the 2016 Gamay presents with cherry and forest fruits. Following on to the palate which at first appears light but surprises you with vibrant fruit combining with white pepper to produce a long lingering mouthfeel. Soft acid and refined tannins round this wine out nicely."

- Sorrenberg

 


 

"Beechworth's Sorrenberg have never been a winery to follow fashions, but in going about things their own way, they now find themselves leading the trend. Their Gamay is the benchmark for the variety in this country. Combining Burgundian and Beaujolais winemaking techniques, they include 10% Pinot Noir in the blend, though this is a love letter to Gamay through and through. So sought after is this wine that it hardly sits on the shelf long before it sells out."
