New Zealand Gamay Noir

New Zealand Gamay Noir - Generally light in color with hue that is usually more blue-purple than red, the wines can be fragrant, full of fruit and fresh floral esters, displaying more tang than tannin. Like its distant cousins, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Gamay can lose its varietal aroma and flavor identity when blended with another grape variety and both red wines and rosés are typically produced from unblended Gamay Noir.
