This is an excellent example of Central Otago's potential to produce top quality Gamay. The wine is open, bursting with red and purple berries and herby spice. It's a soft, slurpable and all-round charming example of the variety from the southern hemisphere.


Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Gamay, the way forward when you want something uncomplicated, refreshing, delicious and red -THE summer red for sure. Gamay is the hallmark variety of Beaujolais, at its best making wines with the ability to age, equally though amazing when young, especially from younger vines. Our is pure fruit, delicious acidity, with just enough structure and weight to make it serious fun. Serve chilled or at room temperature, this is designed to drink now. Note: – this wine has minimal sulphites, unfined, unfiltered – store it cool, drink it young and don’t worry about a thing. Certified Organic – Muirkirk Vineyard, Felton Road, Bannockburn."

5 Stars Michael Cooper (2019 Vintage)
"The 2019 vintage is arguably New Zealand’s finest Gamay to date. Certified organic, it was grown in the Muirkirk Vineyard at Bannockburn, matured in tanks (60 per cent) and old oak barrels (40 per cent), and and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Deeply coloured, it is deliciously floral, rich and supple, with vibrant, sweet-fruit flavours of plums and red berries, showing surprising depth, and loads of drink-young charm."


93/100 Mike Bennie, The Wine Front, September 2020 (2019 Vintage)
"Cherry and pomegranate juice, some light, minty herbal notes, pretty floral characters, some rose hip going on. Crunch and slide in the palate, a nice combo in texture, refreshing acidity, tightly wound, fine, feathery tannins doing their thing. Feels bright and fruit forward in its leaner frame. Great drinking."

"Winemaker Duncan Forsyth thought of a cherry cordial when making this wine. He wants it to be drunk, not sipped! This is a super fun, refreshing, juicy offering from Mount Edward and is pretty unique given only two people in Central Otago have this varietal. Duncan makes this wine with minimal sulphur, as he wants the palate to be broad, not boxed in or framed a certain way. Coming from a single vineyard and aged in both tank and barrel, this wine is not without its intricacies. Though this wine can be held for a couple years in the cellar, it is made to be drunk now and given how smashable it is, it's not hard to oblige. Beaujolais fans will find a lot to like here."
