Gamay with a cult following 🍒🍷

From one of Beechworth’s most beloved small producers, the 2024 Domenica Gamay is proof that Australia can do Gamay — and do it well.

Forget light and simple. This is structured, spicy, and deeply aromatic. Think wild plum, cherry, and earthy undertones, all wrapped in refined tannins and acidity.

Certified biodynamic, made with minimal intervention, and always in demand — this is Gamay that drinks like serious Pinot but still brings that signature vibrancy. A wine with soul, texture, and a loyal fanbase.

What the experts say about this wine

Raspberry, black cherry, hazelnut, a bit spicy and autumnal too, mint and dried flowers, but you know what, it most certainly speaks to the grape variety, and also has a cool steel-like inflection, which is very nice. It’s medium-bodied, succulent, red and black fruited, a bit earthy and nutty, balanced acidity, with a fine sooty tannin finish of excellent length offering some almond paste richness. Yum. So good.

Fermented in open top concrete tank; 15% whole bunches with destemmed berries left uncrushed for gentle extraction; nine months' maturation in foudre and barrique. The maker sees gamay as a natural fit for Beechworth. You have to agree. It combines the fineness of red-berried expression with an extra depth of fruit concentration that is impressive. Mixes a touch of savouriness, an autumnal blend of earthiness and leaves, with black cherries, cassis, dried herbs and a light pepperiness. Smooth as you like across the middle palate, finishing with a bright ping of acidity. Gamay gets serious.
