2023 Le Ferme de Sato Alyssum Gamay

The Sato La Ferme wines are those organically grown by the Satos on their own estate.

In next to no time, this has become one of the greatest Gamays in New Zealand. The alluvial soils of Yoshiaki & Kyoko's vineyard bring incredible structure to this wine. It has tannin, it has depth, it could go toe-to-toe with any Gamay grown anywhere on Earth.

Organic farming, gentle winemaking, with only a couple of barrels made you'll have to be quick if you want this rare bird as part of your collection.

"Clearly the best gamay in New Zealand, showing perfumed aromas of flowers, black pepper and cloves as well as orange peel with wet earth. Medium-bodied. This has a solid core of fruit and an extremely long finish with granite and slate undertones, just like a top Morgon. Drink now."
