Rob Hall Gamay 2025

Rob Hall's first crack at Gamay, and it's a bloody good one. The fruit comes from Kangaroo Ground in the Yarra Valley, a site that suits the variety's preference for cooler conditions and lighter soils. Hall has approached it much the same way he makes his Pinot — straightforward, unfussy winemaking that puts the fruit first.

Description

Half the fruit was kept as whole bunches with the rest destemmed, before maturation in older large-format barrels. The approach keeps things fresh and aromatic without over-extracting or adding unnecessary oak character.

It's a bright, lively red: light on its feet, fragrant, with fine tannins that give it enough grip and focus to feel complete at the table. There's energy and a lovely freshness to it, and it's the kind of wine that works equally well slightly chilled.

One of the better young Gamays around, and superb value once again.

Winemaker's Notes

This is Rob Hall's first release of Gamay. The fruit is sourced from Kangaroo Ground, and the winemaking is kept fairly simple — mostly de-stemmed fruit, made the way he makes Pinot Noir, and matured in older 500L barrels.

Critic Reviews

The Halliday Wine Companion praised the wine's bright red cherry, raspberry, and rose aromatics with a lift of aromatic spice. They noted its medium body fills out nicely on the mid-palate, with fine, well-judged tannins giving it structure and focus — calling it a delicious wine to enjoy now and over the next two to three years.
