Winemaker's Notes:

Fruit and spice are delivered from fragrance to finish. The nose tells of black cherry, strawberry, green rhubarb, blueberry and red plum, accented by ground pepper medley and a floral trim.

The palate is firm and juicy, with fresh acidity livening the mid-palate. Cherry, strawberry, blueberry, rhubarb and pepper persist in the flavour, finishing with lingering spice.

Enjoy now through 2027.

Dry: 0.5 g/L residual sugar

Vinification Notes

Clusters from three different blacks of the Malivoire Estate Vineyard were picked by hand October 3rd to 7th as grape sugars achieved 21.3° Brix.

Hand-sorted grapes were divided into three lots to ferment in an oak cuve (50%), concrete vat (25%) or stainless-steel tank (25%). In all cases, 22% of the grapes were retained in whole clusters, layered-in with crushed berries.

Hand-sorted grapes were divided to ferment in either oak or concrete vat. In both cases, grapes in whole clusters were layered between crushed berries. After pressing, the wine was portioned to age for seven months either in stainless steel tanks or neutral (average 10-year-old) oak barrels. After blending, bottling occurred in May 2023.

Alcohol measured 12%; 0.5 g/L residual sugar; Titratable Acidity: 7 grams per litre; pH: 3.52

Pairing + Serving

Chill to near 14° C and enjoy alongside fried calamari, chicken tagine with apricots and olives, or roast duck with plum sauce, and of course, wood-fired pizza!

Play & Experience

Excellent vintage of the Small Lot Gamay

I have had 4 cases of the 2021 Small Lot Gamay (with another of the few rearming cases on the way). It is a very food friendly wine, great fruit and great acidity, and after dinner, it becomes a great 'sipper' on its own. Although I have a case of the '22 vintage, we have not got into it yet. I did taste the '21 and '22 side-by-side at the winery recently and amazingly, the fruit of the '22 is even more prominent than the '21. I have tasted Gamays from several other Ontario wineries but frankly they do not get to the level of those produced by Malivoire, especially the Small Lot Gamays.
