2022 Mariani Gamay Clone 787 Ancestrale Method Rosé (1.5L)
Similar to the Mariani Clone 509, Clone 787 has a floral nose but the pallet couldn't be more different with balanced acid and notes of cantaloupe and stone fruits. The yin to 509's yang.
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.
