Here's what Carl Boucher of Carl's Wine Club had to say about this Gamay:

"This is crunchy and bright, just like the name of the wine 😊 and sooo very flavorful and delicious! This pure but full body expression of the varietal starts with a lovely, forward floral-scented aspect, and progresses to a meaty/smoky side, cedar wood and loads of red fruit aromas. The wine has spent 8 months in 225L French oak barrels delivering fresh acidity and firm tannins, balanced by a supple and ripe character with enough extracts to linger on the palate. Flavours of red cherry, strawberry, blueberry jam, red pepper, milk chocolate and red licorice. The long and pulsing finish offers spices like Christmas cake, and freshly cracked white pepper. Soo well priced for the immense amount of pleasure this wine offers." 222 cases made. (Carl Boucher, August 5, 2024).

Our homage to the sunny side of life, this wine celebrates the bright side of gamay, a grape known for its warm tones and vivacity. This easy-drinking wine is lively and aromatic with delectable aromas of red apple, blueberry and bing cherry, that introduce a hodgepodge of flavours on the palate. Together with juicy notes of raspberry and blueberry, scrumptious seasoning of celery salt, toasted fennel and flint seem to flock together on the shoulder of John Wayne’s leather jacket. BrightSide is the wine that you bring to lunch, when you’re enjoying pizza and bingeing your favourite show. Created to put a smile on your face and  leave you feeling cheerful and optimistic about the days ahead.

Serve slightly chilled.
