Wine Details
Price:
$16.75 per bottle
Description:
Hardly a “blush” wine, our Gamay Rouge (“Gamay” for the grape, “Rouge” for the color) is a fire engine-red rosé loaded with ripe strawberry fruit and enough body to sidle up to barbecued ribs.

Varietal Definition
Gamay:
The red grape of Beaujolais. Vinified by a process known as 'macération carbonique'* if produces light, fruit driven wines for early consumption. At home in the granite hills of Beaujolais it is a vigorous producer but susceptible to rot. Sometimes blended with Pinot Noir under the appellation 'Bourgogne Passe-Tout-Grains'. Also grown quite extensively in the Loire Valley notably in Touraine.
