Lyon's Will Estate - Gamay

This Gamay aims to express the deliciousness of the variety while showcasing our climate and region.

Designed to be fresh and young in expression this wine has vibrant fruit characteristics with the subtle tannins that Gamays are known for. Lyon's Will use a mixture of winemaking techniques, which are chosen to complement the fruit. One part of the blend is made with 100% whole bunches. This technique known as carbonic maceration, causes the juice still inside the berry to ferment in a carbon dioxide rich environment. The process results in bright, fruit forward wines. The other part is fermented in a whole berry style in open 1000L stainless steel vats.
 
The must is basket pressed and matured in French barriques for nine months. The wine is then blended to tank to settle before it is racked and bottled. Like the Pinot Noir, this wine has no additions other than a little sulphur for bottling. 

Lyon's Will Estate is an 18 acre boutique winery, located in the Macedon Ranges, growing, producing, and bottling every aspect aspect of their land and environment in each bottle.
