Gamay Noir, the grape of Beaujolais, has found a new home in the Te Mata Estate. This family-owned winery has been producing award-winning wines for over a century, and their Gamay Noir 2022 is no exception.
The Te Mata Estate has a rich history, dating back to 1892 when the Chambers family first planted vines on their land in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. Today, the estate is still family-owned and operated, with a focus on sustainable winemaking practices that respect the land and the environment.
The traditional winemaking process used by the Te Mata Estate involves hand-picking the grapes and fermenting them in small batches to ensure the highest quality. The result is a wine that is bursting with crushed red berry characters, with a vibrant fruitiness that makes it a perfect match for all cuisines, even spicy dishes.
The Te Mata Estate Gamay Noir 2022 is vegan-friendly, making it a great choice for those who are looking for a wine that is both delicious and ethical.
