The 2025 Havilah Gamay is a bright, juicy and energetic expression of Gamay, crafted in a fresh, modern style that highlights purity, fragrance and effortless drinkability. Made with a minimal-intervention approach, the wine leans into vibrant red fruit and savoury complexity rather than heaviness, capturing the playful yet refined nature of the variety beautifully. The nose bursts with raspberry, red cherry and wild strawberry alongside violet, subtle spice, fresh herbs and a gentle earthy lift. There’s a lively floral perfume and crunchy fruit character that gives the wine immediate charm and vibrancy.
On the palate, it is light-bodied with silky tannins, bright natural acidity and wonderfully juicy red fruit. Fresh and crunchy in style, the palate layers vibrant berry flavours with savoury spice, delicate herbal notes and a softly earthy finish. The wine feels supple, lively and incredibly approachable while still offering lovely detail and balance.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2025 Havilah Gamay is a beautifully vibrant modern Gamay — fresh, silky and dangerously drinkable, especially with a slight chill. Perfect alongside charcuterie, roast chicken, grilled vegetables, burgers or lighter pasta dishes. Enjoy now through 2030+.
