New Release | Very Limited Stocks
The legendary Sorrenberg of Victoria's Beechworth region has an almost mythical status, with their wines some of the most sought-after in Australia. One of Australia's leading Gamay makers, the quality of Sorrenberg's offering seemingly soar to new heights with each release.
The 2023 Sorrenberg Gamay has been highly anticipated and is already attracting plenty of attention. Always one of the most demanded wine releases of the year, our limited stocks will sell out quickly.
"The style of Gamay we produce uses a combination of traditional Gamay techniques. There is 10% Pinot Noir used in the blend. Half of the Gamay was cold macerated where the fruit is picked cold, crushed and left to soak for 4 days before fermentation starts. Of the rest, 20% of the fruit is left whole in the ferment. Fermentation with natural yeast is for 2 weeks on skins, after which the wine is pressed and matured in oak for eleven months. The nose of the 2023 Gamay displays dark spiced cherries with red currant and cranberry notes. The fruit aromas follow onto the palate combining with earthy tannins and balanced acid creating a well-rounded wine, finishing with good length. The 2023 Gamay has just come straight off our bottling line. It will integrate beautifully with some bottle time. It is drinking fine now, however will benefit with cellar time."- Sorrenberg Wines.
