Bella Wines Gamay Noir Ancestrale Rosé Mariani Vineyard Clone 787 2021
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis is one of two 2021 gamay pét-nats from Naramata Bench's organically farmed Mariani Vineyard, each made from a different clone, processed and picked the same. Clone 787 is rarely found in BC. The blushing peach hue is thanks to a few hours' skin contact. Subtle mandarin, apricot, white peach glide along the bone dry, saline palate, with a welcome riff of texture and fine bubbles. The wee bump up of alcohol this year (to 12.3%) has elevated the charm and friendliness, as well as the concentration. Super smashable. 1115 bottles.Tasted: 29 July 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $40.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
