The Beaujolais grape is an ideal match for Australia's outdoor lifestyle and the vignerons of the region say it is "our cool climate region's answer to grenache: a lighter-style red variety than syrah but every bit as delicious".
Gamay is growing in popularity due to its floral aromas, luscious berry flavours, subtle earthy tones and gentle tannins, which bring a velvety mouthfeel.
Local fans of this emerging variety, Lucy and Darren Golding, have invited their fellow gamay-loving producers in the Adelaide Hills to come together for GAMAY FEST on Sunday, October 5, at their property at Lobethal.
This is the first time in Australia that multiple Gamay makers have joined forces to showcase the appeal of the grape variety.
On show will be gamay wines from Artwine, Five Acre Wines, Golding Wines, Hesketh Wines, K1 By Geoff Hardy, Mt Lofty Ranges Vineyard, Sidewood Estate, Turon Wines, Vella Wines and Worlds Apart Wines.
Attendees will also enjoy a trio of bao buns (included in the ticket price) to demonstrate how well gamay pairs with food.
Anyone interested can book here.
