RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

Gamaret is a red-wine grape from Switzerland's Lavaux wine region. With its good complement of both acids and tannins, Gamaret can produce wines of excellent structure. Its aromatics tend towards the darker, more brooding end of the fruit spectrum, peppered with hints of savory spice. Crossed from Gamay and Reichensteiner in 1970, Gamaret was bred at the viticultural research station in Pully (its nursery name, Pully B-13, is still used in some contexts today).

• It was obtained in 1970 in Pully, Switzerland. Its breeder is André Jaquinet. Gamaret, like garanoir, is a cross between gamay and reichensteiner. The crossing has produced many varieties. The whites have not shown any interesting characteristics

• Gamaret offers wines with a beautiful purple color, spicy aromas and powerful tannins. It is often used in blends. When it is vinified as a single variety, it is usually aged in barrels. Gamaret is relatively young, which explains its limited distribution: essentially in the vineyards around Lake Léman. (https://sui-wineimports.com/grape-varieties/?age-verified=74a22e31a4)
