2015 Stratus Gamay 1.5L Magnum

The wine is plush with ripe fruit balanced with fresh acidity and the softest tannin adding structure. The bright aromatics and flavours follow notes of cherry and wild strawberry compote mixed with cracked black pepper and violets.

2015 was a solid vintage following brutally cold temperatures and snowfall in February whichcaused some damage and reduced overall yields. Variable temperatures in the spring and a damp June were fortunately tempered by a hot and dry July and August. These ideal growing conditions persevered through a warm and lengthy autumn during the final stages of maturation. The vintage shows whites of

complexity and freshness while the reds, as a result of lower yields and extended ripening, are layered,elegant and plush.
