Coulter Wines C6 Gamay 2023

Great to see serious winemakers taking on the Gamay challenge, for too long it has been seen as a lesser version of a wannabee Pinot, instead of a wine giving us the undoubted charms that the grape offers. Adelaide Hills seems a pretty good site for it, as well. The colour is a vibrant magenta, florals and cherries emerge immediately on a soft and generous nose. This is simply a delicious lightweight fresh red, a perfect summer drink. Gentle, supple texture, the wine has crisp acidity and a lingering persistence. This is a first-class Gamay and will provide pleasure for the next several years.
