About Division Wine Co. Gala Gamay Noir
Division Wine Co. Gala Gamay Noir is the first vintage sourced from the Jubilee Vineyard in Eola-Amity Hills. Delicately threading the needle eye between brightness and darkness, this strawberry and spice-laden potion of deliciousness is perfect for Gamay lovers. The earthy and crunchy palate lingers on for what seems like many minutes before slowly dissipating to you guessed it, another sip.
Organically farmed by Steve & Mary Walker, this vineyard is nestled on the hillside in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA, overlooking the town of Amity. The grape varieties grown here include Pinot Noir, Gamay, Dolcetto, & Chardonnay, which all ripen gracefully as harvest approaches.
Aged in old barrels only – sorry, Gamay DOES NOT need new oak – and bottled after 8 months. The new “Gala” Gamay was made without fining or filtration and only a small sulfur addition when blended.
About Division Wine Co.
Division Winemaking Company co-owner and co-winemaker Tom Monroe got his start in banking but was drawn away by the artistry of wine. The unique trifecta of people, science, and art, has kept him in wine for the past decade. Playing multiple roles in his constantly evolving day-to-day is one of the elements of winemaking that Tom enjoys most.
Kate Norris is the co-owner & co-winemaker of Division Winemaking Company. After cutting her teeth working in wine in France, Kate has since become a leader in Oregon winemaking. Working closely with organizations including the Oregon Wine Board and the Willamette Valley Wineries Association, Kate is often the one to encourage change and diverge from the path of sameness. Often found with her sleeves rolled up in her trusty Carharts, Kate’s approach to winemaking is open-minded, always evolving, and simple: drink good things with good people.
