Since its first release, Meadowbank's Gamay has generated considerable excitement in the trade. Rightly so, and the 2019 will only keep the buzz going. Meadowbank's original Pinot Block Gamay was planted in 1987. In 2015 a second, small Gamay block (descriptively named "Top Woolshed") joined the ranks, and in 2019 this new block contributed 60% of the blend. So thankfully we have some more volume of this over-subscribed wine! Hand-picked, the fruit was left to begin carbo fermentation as whole bunches for seven days, before being partially de-stemmed into open fermenters. From there, it was pressed off before its fermentation had finished, straight to inert French oak puncheons, where it stayed for four months on lees. Bottled without fining or filtration, this is a Gamay that offers bright, lifted perfume and an irresistibly juicy, sappy, pure, red-fruited and jubey palate of electric energy and freshness. Dredgy is pretty happy with this one and we can see why!

"Utterly exceptional. Crimson lit from within. The palate, too, is a breath of spring air in an orchard in full bloom. Mandatory immediate drinking."
