Single

Variant

Since its first vintage in 2002, this prized block of Gamay has been bottled separately due to its unique character. Extended aging in French oak barrels, a portion of which are new, is another distinction that sets this wine apart from our other Gamays.

Expect a deep, richly fruited and smooth Gamay that has proven to age well if you resist pulling the cork.

Winemaker's Notes:

Boldly scented of black cherry, blackcurrant and boysenberry, with spicy hints of anise and nutmeg. Smooth tannins with spirited acidity dress the midpalate, as beguiling flavours of cranberry and rhubarb fill the mouth, drawing to a cherry-allspice finish.

Dry: 0 g residual sugar

Vinification Notes

Hand-picked from our Estate Vineyard’s Courtney Block
October 8th, as grape sugars averaged 22.6° Brix.

Destemmed fruit and juice fermented in an open-top oak cuve. After press, 13% of the wine aged in large oak barriques as the remainder spent equal time in French oak puncheons, 20% new. After 10 months the wine was combined to age a further six months in neutral oak before 425 cases were bottled in February 2024.

Alcohol: 13% ; Residual Suger: 0 g/L; Titratable Acidity: 6.5 grams per Litre pH: 3.4

Play & Experience

Tasty but a bit light for my liking!

Great new wine for me

I've been a true fan of the Old Vines Foch selection for many years and I thought I'd give this one a try. It's a close runner up! Another fine wine from Malivoire! My favorite Ontario wine.
