Wines made from Gamay noir grapes of North East Victoria
Discover the best wines made with Gamay noir as a single variety or as a blend of North East Victoria.
Light, juicy reds, low in tannins with crunchy freshness, showing aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, banana (from carbonic maceration) and peony. Easy-drinking style of Beaujolais Nouveau, more structured and mineral on the granites of the ten crus (Morgon, Moulin-à-Vent, Fleurie, Brouilly). Also in Touraine, Auvergne and Swiss Romande. A Burgundian variety, a cross of Pinot Noir × Gouais Blanc.
North-east Victoria zone (Australia), world home of Rutherglen fortified wines: syrupy Muscats and Topaques with raisin, fig, date, caramel, coffee, honey and spice notes, blends up to 50 years old, among the most opulent in the world. High-altitude King Valley excels in fresh Glera sparkling (Prosecco — pear, apple, flowers) and Pinot Grigio. Beechworth signs precise Chardonnay (citrus, nut butter) and peppery high-altitude Shiraz. A multi-style treasure.
