Sorry this is now sold out. Other Sorrenberg releases available here
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 2022 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 is 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 2022 Gamay is showing traits of a cooler year with pronounced fruit and vibrant acid. The dark cherry, plum and raspberry follow through to the palate, combining all with the subtle tannins creating a tight, yet moreish finish. The cooler, vintage conditions means although it is pleasant to drink at the moment, it will also benefit from some cellar time."- Barry Morey, Sorrenberg Wines.
