This old vines Gamay Noir comes from Hillside's 25 year old estate vineyard.
Its a savoury wine with smoked, meaty aromas, plush wild berries, chocolate and espresso with minty/herbal undertones. Expect a creamy entry on the palate, it has plenty of bright acidity perfect for food pairing, and layers of purple fruit, mocha and toasted oak. Fine tannins cling to the finish and flavours of spice and coffee linger.
This is wine that will pair with fattier meat and fowl dishes or dense vegetable stews.
