Gamay
Light red varietal
Gamay is a red wine grape variety, most famously grown in France's Beaujolais region.
The wines it produces are typically light-bodied, fruity, and meant to be drunk young rather than aged.
Beaujolais Nouveau, released each November just weeks after harvest, is the best-known Gamay wine: We picked up a bottle of Gamay for the picnic.
