Rippon Gamay 2019, Lake Wanaka, Central Otago

The scents and sense of place are immediate with aromas wild flowers and soil, fleshy, youthful and engaging light red fruits and a leesy autolysis complexity. On the palate - savoury, fruity, textured and dry. Flavours reflect the nose with the addition of a dried herb and wild flowers, a granite-like soil suggestion. Fine fruit tannins and flavours of black currant and raspberry, some bing-cherry and a light carbonic-maceration note adding lift and freshness. Balanced and ready. Best drinking from today and through 2023. An expressive and true wine.
