Fermentation was started in concrete fermentors. The skins were punched down by hand 2x per day for 3 weeks. The wine remained on skins for 5 days after fermentation before being gently pressed and settled in vessel. The 2024 Gamay was then racked to older barrels to be aged for 9 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe terroir of Four Mile Creek in Niagara-on-the-Lake really shines in this first vintage with Hubel Creek Vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNose:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNotes of black cherry, mulberry, and raspberry with an amazing white \u0026amp; pink pepper spice present over a background of moss and leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePalate:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe palate is complimentary showing Bing cherry, blackberry, vanilla bean, anise, and basil smoked sausage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe finish is fantastically long and smooth.
