Description
Rosewood Estate Winery Night Moves Gamay Noir 2017
100% Gamay Noir. An award winning winery nestled on the Beamsville Bench, where they "Craft honest low-intervention wine, innovative mead, and local honey that reflect their individuality as artifacts of the Niagara Region". Night Moves Gamay Noir went through a long nightly sorting process, was wild fermented and aged in French oak. A truly wonderful express of Niagara reds and terrior. This a limited wine of our cellar.
After a wild ferment, a saignee(to bleed) off of juice for ‘The Provo- cateur’, the pressed wine went to ‘the notorious PTG’, the gamay juice went into French barriques. On the nose, ripe red fruit flavours jump from the glass, red currant, cherry, followed by, freshly fallen leaves, grilled herbs, and slate. Tangy and lively with nice supple fruit. On the palate the flavours match, showing surprising texture for a medium bodied wine. The acid is bright and crisp, making it great to drink on its own or with food. Make sure you have another one ready to open, cellar temperature is ideal.
