Origin

The Gamay Noir by Martin Woods is crafted in the renowned wine regions of New Zealand, known for producing vibrant and expressive wines with a focus on cool climate varietals.

Variety

This wine is made exclusively from the Gamay Noir grape variety, celebrated for its light-bodied, fruity character and bright acidity.

Production

The production of Martin Woods Gamay Noir involves careful hand harvesting of the grapes at optimal ripeness. The fermentation process is conducted in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh fruit aromas and vibrant acidity. The wine is aged briefly in neutral vessels to maintain its bright and lively profile without heavy oak influence.
