2020 Niagara Peninsula 750 mL, 13% ALC/VOL

Gamay

Critic's Rating 91 pts

Another delicious Gamay, reconfirming this grape variety is arguably the most gulpable red grape in Ontario (and beyond). The nose is complex with fruity aromas of black raspberry and black cherry, along with black pepper and stony minerality. Fresh and dry on the palate with flavours of black raspberry, cherry and black pepper with light tannins, balancing acidity and a long finish. Will certainly reward those who cellar for the short-to-midterm but is drinking perfectly well on release.

Serve lightly chilled so it feels cool in your mouth (13-15oC) and enjoy it with a range of flavourful every day favourites like pepperoni pizza, shepherd’s pie, pasta Bolognese or veggie stir fry.

This is one of the most awarded Gamays in Ontario and certainly the most popular at the LCBO. It’s made from 85% estate fruit with the rest sourced from other Niagara vineyards. It has a bright, inviting, and fruity nose of ripe plums, dark cherries, and wild raspberries. It’s bright and cheerful on the palate with juicy red berries, light tannins, freshness, subtle peppery notes, touch of plums and mouth-watering acidity keeping it lively through the finish. Quintessential Niagara Gamay here, great value and a beacon for the future of this exciting grape in Niagara. Serve slightly chilled and enjoy!
