2023 Ochota Barrels Price of Silence Gamay

In 1985 three clones of Gamay were planted high up in the Piccadilly Valley, a few years later due to its unpopularity they were grafted to Chardonnay. It wasn’t until 2013 that Taras convinced the grower mate Sam to chainsaw off the Chardonnay grafts and bring back canes from the Gamay rootstock.

The 2021 is a tightly wound classic example of gamay which shows medicinal fragrance, savoury spiced red currants that has a polished mineral plate that is lithe, dense yet elegant in its long and pure finish.
