Description from the Producer
2020 was a great vintage for Gamay. Warm and sunny late summer and fall created optimal conditions for this wine. This sort of season is phenomenal for Gamay, allowing to get great intensity and ripeness at lower alcohol. This wine was picked on October 21st and placed in concrete fermenters. After a 3-day cold soak fermentation occurred spontaneously and was hand punched-down twice a day for 3 weeks. After fermentation, the wine was kept on skins for 5 days then gently pressed and settled in tank. It was then racked into a clay amphora and 3 neutral oak barrels and aged for 10 months. After aging it was racked out of barrel and held in tank for a one month before being bottled. No additions of any kind were made, not yeast, malolactic bacteria or even sulphites.
The depth of this wine was structured by the warm, but not hot summer and autumn. We believe this is the best Gamay we have made to date! The terroir of this vineyard is new to this wine but not new to Leaning Post. From the Four Mile Creek sub appellation where additional heat units are common provides a perfect spot for growing well constructed gamay with depth of character and complexity.
Nose: This wine shows loads of dried herbaceous notes, spice and leather, with intense blackberry, cherry and pepper on the nose.
Palate: The palate is complimentary showing mulberry, pomegranate, lilac, smoked sausage and fennel seed.
Finish: The finish is fantastically long and smooth. This wine will age well for the next 4-6 years.
Pairing: The best pairings for Natural Gamay include grilled salmon, roasted chicken or turkey, fennel sausages and pot roast.
