Adelaide Hills Woodside Gamay 2025

Gamay originates from France in the region of Beaujolais but has recently found a welcoming home in the cool climes of the Adelaide Hills. Gamay is light in body with low tannins and high acidity, making it a marvel to pair with a variety of food.

In 2025, relatively dry but warm conditions from allowed for an even fruit set and healthy canopy growth, with enough warmth to build flavour. The season’s low disease pressure, yielded concentrated, pristine fruit that promises exceptional quality in the cellar.

Fruit for this wine was hand-picked to keep whole bunches intact at harvest and then destemmed without crushing to allow for whole-berry fermentation in 2T open fermenters. A portion of the bunches were held back for a 100% whole bunch ferment to achieve carbonic maceration. As soon as the ferment was complete and zero baumé recorded, the fruit was pressed. The wine was then matured in seasoned French oak for six months.
