PepperGreen Estate Gamay Noir Single Vineyard

PepperGreen Estate Gamay Noir Single Vineyard 2021 from the Southern Highlands is a pale, cherry‑red, ultra‑versatile red that’s light, juicy and bright – perfect for relaxed, lightly chilled drinking and summer food.

It shows pale cherry‑red colour with a fragrant red‑currant nose, and on the palate it’s classic gamay: juicy, Ribena‑like yet very light, with cranberry juice, red currant and potpourri characters supported by refreshing acidity. That combination of bright red fruit and crispness makes PepperGreen Estate Gamay Noir 2021 feel playful but still well made, ideal as an easy, cool‑climate alternative to heavier reds.

As an Adelaide‑based sommelier, I’d be serving this Gamay Noir lightly chilled alongside charcuterie, grilled vegetables, roast chicken, or simple pasta and pizza – anything that likes juicy red fruit and doesn’t need big tannin. It’s also a terrific picnic and barbecue wine for warmer days, and sits nicely in PepperGreen’s award‑winning cool‑climate red lineup.
