Winemaking For “Les Petits Fers”, we typically utilize significant amounts of whole cluster carbonic maceration, typical of traditional Beaujolais winemaking. This was true of all but our new Columbia Valley site which was mostly destemmed and fermented spontaneously in an open-top vat. The Gamay lots were aged independently by vineyard in mostly concrete tanks, stainless steel tanks, and some neutral barrels.
Aging 6 months in concrete tanks & neutral French oak barrels
Annual Production 525 cases

The Character
Tasting Notes We love the juxtaposition of fruit and savory characters in this year’s wine and the deep mineral core. The 2023 hits all the right spots and has the red fruitiness and peppery characteristics that scream GAMAY! We think you will adore this wine as much as we do, so drink up - no need to cellar!
Sustainability
- 2023 - Minimal Intervention / Augmentation, Natural Fermentation
- 2022 - Minimal Intervention / Augmentation, Natural Fermentation
The Story
Gamay is simply the most delicious, delightful, versatile grape. Produced like a traditional Beaujolais Villages wine, we utilize carbonic and semi-carbonic maceration as the layering components. It’s fruit, juice, spice, and everything nice for our eleventh vintage of “Les Petits Fers.”
