Gamay
Gamay
Gamay is a red grape variety, notably grown in France`s Burgundy and the Loire Valley. Most famously used in the light, pale-red wines of the appellations of Beaujolais, vibrant flavours of strawberries, sour cherries and black pepper are lifted by floral notes of lilac and violets. Gamay`s naturally high acidity is often softened through the use of carbonic maceration: a process which sees the grape juice fermenting inside the berry before being crushed, reducing the tannin and increasing fruitiness.
