Uva Non Grata Gamay 2023 is a cheeky little French red that punches well above its price tag. Bursting with juicy red cherries, raspberries and a hint of violet, it’s light-bodied, super fresh and full of gluggable charm. No oak, no fuss – just pure fruit and gentle tannins for an ultra-drinkable finish.
Serve slightly chilled for a proper modern bistro feel. Perfect for picnics, pizza night or just because it’s Tuesday.
"A fresh crunchy, fruit forward style of wine. A cute story about this one - apparently Gamay was outlawed by Philip the Bold in 1395, but some rebellious vigernons secretly planted some among the Pinot Noir vines to keep it alive. Thank goodness!"
For centuries maligned, mistreated and misunderstood, Gamay was outlawed by Philip the Bold in 1395. Some vignerons rebelled, hiding forbidden Gamay vines amongst noble Pinot Noir. In their honour the makers of this wine released this deliberately disruptive Gamay, bottled without appellation and without rules!
This wine is made by a co-operative of growers in the hills just outside Lyon, where Gamay thrives in granite-rich soils. Gamay loves the granite/siliceous soils of the vineyards in the hills to the north west of Lyon in eastern France.
How it’s made:
The result is a super fresh, juicy style that’s all about easy-drinking pleasure with a bit of French attitude.
