Punchy and aromatic, this wine is a veritable cornucopia of mixed berries on the nose.  Hints of brown spice and citrus peel give an impression of sangria.  In spite of its deep color, this wine is light-bodied, slightly effervescent and deeply refreshing.  In the mouth, the wine is juicy and fruit-forward, with loads of Hawaiian Punch, floral notes and hints of fresh herbs.  The finish comes in soft and mellow with a delicate kiss of acid.

2022 Gamaphone Nouveau Vineyard Description

Blended of Malbec from the Bell’s Echo vineyard in Anderson Valley (Sonoma) and Mourvedre from the Alder Springs vineyard in Mendocino, this wine showcases the intense fruit character that California’s North Coast is capable of.  Both lots were picked early to preserve fresh fruit character and keep final alcohol low.

2022 Gamaphone Nouveau Wine making Information

This year, we performed carbonic maceration on two different lots of grapes - Mendocino Mourvedre and Sonoma Merlot.  For each wine, we put the grapes into a 1.5 ton stainless steel bin, as 100% whole cluster bunches, then blanked the bin with CO2 every day.  Using only the native yeast on the grapes, we allowed a 15 day cool maceration before pressing the grapes and finishing a very long, cool ferment (~55F) in stainless steel.  After a brief period of aging in stainless steel, we decided that the wines tasted better blended together than separately, so we combined the lots prior to bottling.

2022 Gamaphone Nouveau Food Pairing

Pair this wine with any of your favorite brunch dishes or a fresh, summery salad with shaved almonds and strawberries or mandarin orange slices and a champagne vinaigrette.  This wine could do well with complex spiced dishes, such as curry or paella.
