The 2022 Dicey Bannockburn Gamay, crafted by Jarrah Wood in Bannockburn, Victoria, is a vibrant and engaging cool-climate red of charming finesse. Aromas of wild strawberry, red currant, rose petal and rhubarb lift gracefully. On the palate, juicy red fruit is enlivened by subtle spice, savoury herb notes and a whisper of earthiness. Fine-grained tannins and bright natural acidity deliver delicate structure, while a thread of chalky minerality adds poise and length. Light oak and minimal intervention preserve varietal purity. Though formal scores are pending, early acclaim highlights its lively clarity, food-friendly nature and elegant regional expression.
