Bachelder Willms les Naturistes Gamay Noir Niagara Cru I 55% Whole Cluster 2020
Four Mile Creek, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaThomas Bachelder, long heralded with his skilled hand at chardonnay and pinot noir, has turned his eye towards gamay, with a series of releases from the 2020 vintage. Les Naturistes comes from a 1983 planted vineyard owned and farmed by the Willms family, in the heart of Four Mile Creek, rooted in silty, loam clays, gravel, limestone and sand. This was fermented with 55% whole cluster. Herbal edged and green tinged, with lovely sapid raspberries and crunchy plum along a lengthy, saline and peppery palate. Acidity is bright and energy is high through the lightly warming, ample white pepper finish.Tasted: 05 May 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $27.95 | 750ml | winery online/direct |
