Details
Gamay is a purple grape variety best known for producing red wines in Beaujolais and the Loire Valley. It’s a vigorous vine that thrives in acidic soils, which helps soften its naturally high acidity. Wines made from Gamay are typically light-bodied and fruity, with flavors of bright berries, lilac, and violets. In Cru Beaujolais, these wines can develop more complexity with notes of sour cherries, black pepper, and stone after aging.

Training System
Top Wire Cordon (TWC) Download Top Wire Cordon PDF

Top Wire Cordon is arguably the most efficient training system for grapes, especially for procumbent or downward growing cultivators, especially those not prone to late season fruit rots due to shading of the fruiting zone. Summer labor is much less than that required with Vertical Shoot Positioned (VSP) training as shoot positioning and leaf pulling are generally not required. Learn More
