Charmer, alluring, savoury.
Always a charmer, this year the Blue Mountain Gamay dispenses violets and tangy red cherries, leather and tealeaf with oodles of fine spice and a note of duck fat. It is earthy and spiced on the palate as well, a notable savoury character is balanced with high-toned red fruit. Bright and bouncy with a bittersweet finish.
Pair: cedar planked salmon, pork tenderloin with berry sauces, grilled chicken, chorizo or soft, washed rind cheeses.

Savoury, juicy, slick.
Blue Mountain celebrates 30 years in 2021!
Following in the footsteps of the 2018, the 2019 delivers smoked charcuteries and red currents, sour cherries, finely ground white pepper and burnt sugar aromas. The palate is slick and fresh, the fruit bouncy and bouyant. The finish trails leather, toasted spice, tealeaf and earthy flavours--persistent and juicy.
Pair: cedar planked salmon, pork tenderloin with berry sauces, grilled chicken, chorizo or soft, washed rind cheeses.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Olive Oil & Cracked Pepper

Charmer, alluring, savoury.
Always charming, this year the Blue Mountain Gamay suggests juicy blueberry and raspberry aromas, vanilla, faint spice, botanical and tealeaf with an earthy core. Sweet and expressive fruit lines the palate; it is a silky, spicy and wonderfully pretty wine with a serious side.

Juicy, alluring, magical.
This bar-raising Gamay is utterly alluring, offering beguiling aromas of raspberry in vanilla syrup, lilacs, star-anise and cocoa with sweet spices. It is equally magical and balanced on the palate; it's silky and juicy, laden with high-toned fruit and sweet spice. Charming and fresh with a long sweet finish.
