In the grand tapestry of winemaking, there are stories of underdogs, misunderstood mavericks that defy convention and capture the imagination. Such is the tale of the Gamay grape, the unsung hero of our "Hobo Gamay" – a wine that embodies the resilience and charm of a grape once banished, now celebrated.

Like the last great American dynasty, this Gamay has risen from the ashes of rejection, its vibrant acidity and lingering tannins a testament to its unique character. Imagine ripe cherries bursting forth, their juicy sweetness intertwined with soft vanilla notes, inviting you into a world of unapologetic indulgence.

Crafted with a reverence for tradition, our Gamay spent 16 months in neutral oak, allowing its true essence to shine through. Each sip is a journey through history, a celebration of the mavericks who dared to embrace the unconventional, turning the tables on those who dismissed the grape's potential.

With a captivating 13.9% alcohol content and a pH of 3.71, this wine is a harmonious balance of intensity and finesse, a reminder that true beauty often lies in the underappreciated, the overlooked. Embrace the wanderlust of the hobo spirit, and let this Gamay transport you to a realm where eccentricity reigns supreme.

label_story
    the hatch ‘Hobo Series’ Gamay – In July 1395, the Duke of Burgundy Philippe the Bold outlawed the cultivation of Gamay; he banned the “vile and disloyal” Gamay as unfit for human consumption. Guarenteed that guy never took a single wine class in his life. So yeah, this grape has been kicked around for 600+ years and of course to us it’s the perfect red grape for this series. For years, I’ve always described Gamay as ‘the poor mans Pinot Noir’ which is totally apt and also because I’m poor as well and like to drink wines. Gamay is less about the what, than the where. You put it in the right place, give it some love and it quickly becomes loyal and unvile. Ours is classic; it’s got the red fruit and rhubarb. it’s got a little toast. It’s got the flavour, but that hint of delicacy. This is a Gamay that would make Phil change his tune.
