Gamay is regarded as one of the lightest-bodied red grape varieties, famous for its expressive flavours and minimal tannin. When a small parcel from Woodside in the Adelaide Hills was offered to Ashton Hills, we couldn’t resist the opportunity.

Bouquet
Fresh raspberry and plum, lifted florals and a touch of Indian spice.

Palate
The palate bursts with flavours of blackcurrant, plum and rhubarb with supple yet chalky tannins and vibrant acidity providing structure and a long elegant finish.

Growing Conditions
For the second year in a row, the Piccadilly Valley growing season resulted in reduced yields. The long, cool and wet winter pushed into December affecting flowering and a cooler than average start to the year meant the small bunches and berries needed well into March/April to reach maturity.
