Punt Road Gamay 2021

Punt Road winemaker Tim Shand is making some of our favourite Yarra Valley wines at the moment, with his Pinot Gris, Chardonnay & Pinot Noir all being delicious and character filled expressions at more than reasonable prices. The 2021 vintage of Punt Road Gamay is no exception; if you are unfamiliar with the grape think a meatier, spicer, more versatile Pinot Noir. Maybe the best $28 you’ll spend on red wine this winter.

Certainly the bright fruit aromatics are there, but I really like the tension between the fruit and the acid and the quite insistent 2021 tannin profile. It’s light on its feet but then hits you with a lingering core of savouriness. Our Airlie Bank Garden Red has a similar profile. - Tim Shand, Winemaker
