The 2025 Coulter Gamay is a bright and energetic Adelaide Hills Gamay crafted by Chris Coulter using a minimal-intervention approach that highlights the variety's purity and freshness. Sourced from cool-climate vineyards, the wine captures Gamay's naturally vibrant personality with lifted aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, red cherry and rose petal, complemented by subtle notes of white pepper, black tea and earthy spice.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with juicy red berry flavours, lively natural acidity and fine, silky tannins. Layers of cranberry, sour cherry and raspberry are balanced by delicate savoury undertones and a fresh mineral edge, leading to a bright, refreshing finish. Its restrained structure and vibrant fruit make it an approachable, food-friendly red that is equally enjoyable lightly chilled.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy fresh, perfumed reds with vibrant fruit and exceptional drinkability. Pair it with charcuterie, roast chicken, grilled salmon, mushroom dishes or wood-fired pizza. Best enjoyed over the next 3–5 years while its bright fruit, lively acidity and silky texture are at their peak.
