Henry of Pelham Estate The Smith & Smith Gamay 2023

This typically pale gamay is a fusion of oak flavours and ripe red fruit – plush red berries, dark cherries, and plums on the one hand and vanilla bean, nutmeg, cinnamon, on the other. In balance and flavourful, the medium-bodied palate shows supple tannins and lively acidity. Fresh red fruit and delicate herbal notes intermingle on the finish. Harmonious and colourful, this gamay is best enjoyed over the next 2-3 years. Tasted July 2025. (Megha Jandhyala, S.J.D.,winealign.com)
