Description
"Meet 'Anna.' She's a serious Gamay with notes of toasted sesame seeds and beautiful bright raspberry and bramble fruits. These grapes began their journey amongst the cascading vineyards of the Yarra Valley. From there, they spent two weeks fermenting on skins (30% whole bunch), before ageing in large format oak over the winter and spring. Best paired with chicken, steak, mushroom, falafel and cheese." - Winemaker Notes
"Yarra Valley is the quarry for this gamay. Pan-Victorian explorations by Foreign Friends make for a worthy investigation. There is great drinking afoot. Quite a tart, tangy red wine, lighter spectrum as expected with distinct white pepper, red capsicum, minty herbal elements in red cherry, rhubarb juice and rose hip tea. A wine on the edge, but refreshing in that way. Crisp edges, a chisel of light but drying tannin here too. You’d call it a friskier expression of the variety and it does well in that regard. Thirst-quenching gamay, let’s say." - 92 Points, Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
