Amphora Gamay 2023
“Lithe, vibrant, and lifted on the nose and palate.”
Farmed organically. For this vintage, the grapes were completely de-stemmed (instead of some stem inclusion). It is fermented and aged in amphora that Andrew Beckham makes and spends about 10 months in amphora before bottling. Once bottled, it spends several months in bottle before release.
Lithe, vibrant, and lifted on the nose and palate. This is a slightly lighter expression of Gamay with great texture and mouthfeel. A very versatile wine with food that lends itself well to a slight chill.

Andrew is the only winemaker in North America who also makes his own amphorae. Amphorae have been used to age and transport wine since the time of the Ancient Greeks.
