Division Wine Co. 2025 "Les Petits Fers" Gamay Noir

Tasting Notes

Division Wine Co.’s 2025 “Les Petits Fers” Gamay Noir is a bright, lifted, and classically Loire‑inspired expression of Gamay grown in Oregon, showing the grape’s signature vibrancy with a distinctly Northwest accent. Made entirely from 100% Gamay Noir, the wine opens with aromas of crushed red cherries, wild strawberries, pomegranate, and a subtle violet‑and‑rose lift, followed by hints of white pepper, damp earth, and a gentle herbal snap that reflects the cool‑climate sites Division favors. The palate is juicy and energetic, driven by crisp acidity and fine, lightly grippy tannins that frame flavors of raspberry, cranberry, red currant, and a touch of savory spice. Its texture is supple yet nervy, finishing with a clean mineral edge that keeps the wine refreshing and food‑friendly. This style of Gamay pairs beautifully with charcuterie, roast chicken, grilled salmon, mushroom dishes, herb‑roasted pork, lentil stews, and anything featuring fresh herbs or mild spices; it also excels with picnic fare and lighter cheeses thanks to its brightness and moderate weight.
