2022 Mariani Gamay Clone 509 Ancestrale Method Rosé (1.5L)
This beauty has an almost honeysuckle nose which is deceptive when that bracing acidity hits your pallet in the form of crisp green apple and a whisper of strawberry that hangs on the finish. Made in the ancestrale method, this wine has nothing added other than a touch of sulphur. Perfect when the room is hot, the place is packed with people and you’re looking for a refreshing beverage to keep the party rolling.
Please note: magnums require a minimum 2 bottles for shipments.
MARIANI VINEYARDS - We are delighted to work with Lorna Fraser and Phil Mariani to source organically farmed Gamay grapes on the lakeside of Naramata Road. Inspired by their love of Beaujolais, Lorna and Phil decided to plant not one, but TWO, clones of Gamay on their three acre site: clone 787 (a unique varietal for BC) and clone 509 (the more well known varietal here). With two clones being farmed identically on the same site this allows us to play with single clonal expressions for a better understanding of this sometimes overlooked grape. Go. Gamay. Go.
