Little Giant Adelaide Hills Gamay 2024

Beyond me why on earth we do not see a great many more examples of Gamay – was it that it got a bad name from those flower-labelled and rather simple examples of Beaujolais, especially the ones which were put in racing cars and whizzed across Europe around three minutes after they were bottled? Who knows, but these days, there are many brilliant wines coming from Beaujolais, so there is no reason why this cannot be replicated here. Great to see some wineries giving it a go. Purple crimson colour, we have aromas of ripe cherries, spices, florals and kirsch and a note that is eerily reminiscent of a freshly baked cherry pie. Blueberries emerge on the palate. This is sleek and slippery with soft tannins, juicy acidity and good length. Delicious. Enjoy over the next three to four years.
