So without further ado, we’re happy to share with you our latest release overview, Practifi Gamay.
Light-bodied and full of floral aromas, Gamay wines are the epitome of a 360 degree transformation. Plucked from the vine as extremely acidic purple grapes, the wine is carefully treated and transformed into a fresh, juicy and extremely delightful tasting experience.With hints of raspberry, cherry and black pepper, Gamay wines are extremely versatile and are best paired with charcuterie, white meats, and salmon plates. Similarly, this release is full of enticing flavors and features that are begging to be enjoyed.
