Gamaret is a Swiss blue grape variety that produces purple-red wines that can be spicy and quite robust, often quite tannic. The Swiss often use it to give their red wines made from Pinot Noir or Gamay a bit more power, but several winemakers make a wine made entirely from Gamaret.
The Gamaret is a cross between Gamay and Reichensteiner. It is the "little brother" of the Garanoir, which has the same grape parentage. Like the Garanoir, this cross was created in a laboratory in Switzerland in 1970. Wine has been made from it since 1990. It has sufficient strength to withstand oak aging and is primarily found in the Swiss regions of Valais (Wallis), Vaud, and Geneva. While still relatively small, the Gamaret's popularity is growing. Since 2008, the Gamaret has also been permitted in the French Beaujolais region, and it is now also found in ItWe currently have one wine made from the Gamaret grape in our range.
