Kew 2019 Gamay Noir is fragrant with smoky, spicy red plum and red berry aromas on the nose. Bright and juicy with raspberry, red berry, tart cherry and black pepper spice smooth and silky on the palate. Pour with a duck confit or roast turkey. This winery is housed in a historic 160-year-old home in Niagara.

Gamay Noir food pairings: baked ham with cherry coulis, roast duck, roast chicken.

Reviews and Ratings

Lori Kilmartin WSET3 - WSET3 Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

As a Carriage Club member at Kew I tend to drink a lot of their wines and so far have loved them all! With an accumulation in my cellar I did an outdoor tasting of several of their lineup with some friends.

Aromas of dried fruit, cranberry and currants with some underlying tobacco and spice. On the palate the tannins are soft and the acidity well balanced. Flavours of ripe cherry and plums. Medium bodied with a medium to long finish of fruit.

The website says a tomato based pizza would be a good pairing so that's what I tasted with it and the match was spot on!
