Eldridge Estate Gamay 2005
By Gary Walsh
There is not much Australian gamay about. I can only remember trying Sorrenberg. Who else makes one I wonder? Anyway, after tasting this I think there should be more of it. A versatile wine and one that suits our climate. It can be served cool in summer or warmer in the cooler months.
Aromas of cherry, summer berry, sweet almond, spice and a nice meaty overtone. On the palate it is light to medium bodied with spicy flavours of cherry and summer berries. Fine dry tannins and a gamey dry strawberry finish. I am very taken with this wine. Interesting flavours and high drinkablilty.
