Technical Details

The terroir of Four Mile Creek in Niagara-on-the-Lake really shines in this first vintage with Hubel Creek Vineyard.

Nose: Notes of black cherry, mulberry, and raspberry with an amazing white & pink pepper spice present over a background of moss and leather.

Palate: The palate is complimentary showing Bing cherry, blackberry, vanilla bean, anise, and basil smoked sausage.

Finish: The finish is fantastically long and smooth. This wine will age well for the next 4-6 years.

Pairing: Enjoy a glass of Gamay with roast chicken, chicken tagine with apricots and olives, pork sausages, duck with plum sauce, and turkey with chestnut stuffing.

Reviews: 90 pts Wine Align John Szabo

2024 had an exceptionally warm, sunny growing season with weather cooling in September to create optimal growing conditions for this wine – this kind of season is phenomenal for Gamay, allowing it to build great intensity and ripeness to moderate alcohol.

Hand-picked and on September 27th, the grapes were left to cold soak for 6 days prior to fermentation. Fermentation was started in concrete fermentors. The skins were punched down by hand 2x per day for 3 weeks. The wine remained on skins for 5 days after fermentation before being gently pressed and settled in vessel. The 2024 Gamay was then racked to older barrels to be aged for 9 months.
