Gamay mixed 6 pack special

A mixed Gamay 6 pack to celebrate the recently published tasting by Young Gun of Wine, who gathered every Australian gamay they could find and set an expert panel of some of the best tasters in the business the task of finding the wines that compelled the most. All wines were tasted blind, and each panellist named their top six wines. Our two Gamays were included: 2023 Esmé and 2023 Vaughn’s Jardin Gamay.

This was among the top two wines of the day for Rush, and Jensen included it in his top six selections. Rush wrote: “So pale in contrast to the others! This was the chillable, almost rosé level gamay, gifting mushrooms, liquorice, ginger, leaves slowly spoiling on the moist forest floor, Campari, rhubarb and fresh strawberry. So smashable and refreshing, I didn’t want it to end and so versatile in its lightness.” “Spice and red fruits, it sounds like a simple combination it’s very complex on the palate, not to mention the longest finishing wine out of the gamays,” commented Jensen. “It immediately bought cherry and strawberry Starburst to mind, which sounds like a lot and way too confectionary, but the spice mellows it out, along with the gentle red pepper. Duck, veal, a simple jus – it’ll hold for the whole meal and you won’t get bored of it.”

“Gazing into the deep colour and taking in the array of aromatic features, this wine grabs your attention,” described Purser, placing this among his top six wines from the tasting. “This is a serious gamay. It is deeply scented with layers of potpourri, carbonic maceraction lift, earthy spices and fine oak. The dark fruit is bright and fresh, well weighted and refined. It has a line and length met with good balance. This will age well.
