Varietal Gamay
Cepage 100% Gamay
Winemaking The Gamay grape originated in the Beaujolais region of France and has a unique fermentation approach called “carbonic maceration” that we learned while training and going to enology and viticulture school in our early winemaking days. We use this method and variations of this technique for most of our Gamay lots, including this Gamay. We then age in a combination concrete and stainless steel tank and small number of neutral French oak barrels for 10 months before bottling. A small amount of sulfur was added when the wine was assembled and the wine was neither fined nor filtered.

The Character

Tasting Notes We renamed our Willamette Valley Gamay from “Lutte” to “Un” In 2024 to better align It with its Willamette Valley Pinot Noir & Chardonnay “Un” siblings. This year’s Gamay “Un” defines the 2024 traits we see across the wines and jumps straight out of the glass with a combination of crushed rocks, strawberries, and peppery spices. Crunchy red fruit - oh yes - just the way we love Gamay. fruity, peppery, and just the right amount of crunchy acid to carry the wine all the way through. Indeed a truly splendid vintage!
Sustainability Minimal Intervention / Augmentation, Natural Fermentation

The Story

An unheralded vintage results in the strongest lineup of Gamay wines yet, including this showstopper!
