More Information

Bright, vibrant and full of character, Pyren Vineyard ‘Pentagon’ Gamay is an expressive Australian interpretation of this increasingly popular red grape. Produced in the Pyrenees wine region of Victoria, the wine combines the juicy, exuberant fruit associated with Gamay with a distinctive savoury edge and the warmth of its Australian growing environment. The 2024 vintage is the first release of Gamay from Pyren Vineyard. The vines were grafted onto established Shiraz rootstocks, and the grapes are hand-picked before undergoing whole-bunch fermentation, including a period of carbonic maceration. This technique helps preserve the grape’s fresh, aromatic fruit character while developing a lively, gently savoury complexity. The wine is then matured in seasoned French oak, allowing its texture and flavours to develop without overpowering the fruit. The result is a wonderfully characterful red, with aromas of wild raspberry, strawberry and brambly fruit, alongside leafy herbal notes and a subtle hint of pepper. The palate is juicy and energetic, with bright red-berry flavours, a touch of sour plum and a gentle cocoa-like richness. Its supple tannins and refreshing lift make it particularly enjoyable served with a slight chill. Versatile and food-friendly, Pentagon Gamay is an excellent match for charcuterie, roast chicken, duck, pork, grilled vegetables and lightly spiced dishes. A lovely alternative to Pinot Noir or Beaujolais, it is a relaxed yet distinctive red for sharing.
