Elisa is back with the 2022 iteration of this Wayward favourite. From a hot vintage this is a deeper, riper Gamay that nonetheless retains its delicacy and verve. Dusty spices, black cherry fruits, stony minerals and elegant, fine-grained tannins. Just delicious. Find out more.

A red so light we almost called it a rosé. Purity of fruit is the name of the game here, hinged on the idea of travelling from tank to bottle at the precise moment that 'grape juice' becomes 'wine'. It's no doubt clear that this highly youthful style leaves us with a Gamay that is prodigiously drinkable and you'll most certainly want on ice. Find out more.

In contrast to Noëlla's other soft, velvet-smooth reds, her delightfully crunchy Gamay maintains a certain degree of edge.

A certified lip-smacker. Find out more.

Wow! This is one of those wines that makes a lasting impression for its pure deliciousness.

At once easy to drink, but divertingly complex. Find out more.
