Winemaker's Notes:

Deeply fragranced of dark cherry, blueberry, strawberry and cranberry, dressed by sassafras, vanilla and earthy undertones. This warm-vintage gamay is firm and fleshy, tasting of cherry jelly, ripe raspberry, orange zest and a ginger garnish.  Enjoy now to 2026.

Composed of grape clusters hand-picked at sugar average 22.1° Brix, 17% from the Malivoire Estate south gamay block picked October 3rd and 83% from the north block,
picked October 7th.

Divided by site, the grapes were sorted, destemmed, and fermented in two concrete tanks. The wines were blended after pressing, to age in mature (average 12-year-old)
300-Litre barrels. After seven months, the wine filled 150 cases in May 2023.

At the time of bottling, alcohol measured 12.5%, residual sugar: 1 grams per litre titratable acidity:  7.1 grams per litre and pH: 3.52

Dry: 1 g/L residual sugar
