Gamay has a tumultuous history marked by riot and rebellion. Outlawed by Philip the Bold in 1395, it found fast friends in defiant winemakers who hid the forbidden fruit amidst vines of the much-loved and -lauded Pinot Noir. In recent decades, the once-shunned French varietal has begun a renewed rise to the throne, amassing a cult following amongst renegades and innovators and gaining fame for its juicy lightness, crunchy texture, and refreshing bounce. Uva Non Grata, made using carbonic maceration by global wine collective Boutinot and named in the Latin fashion for ‘ungrateful grapes’, hails from Gamay’s spiritual home amidst the sloping hills of Beaujolais in France and showcases a delightfully disruptive personality that’s all zip, spice,
and sunshine.

Local knowledge
The modern incarnation of a wine originally made to celebrate the end of harvest in Beaujolais, Beaujolais Nouveau (made from Gamay) is wildly popular amongst contemporary wine lovers. France celebrates Beaujolais Nouveau Day, which falls in November, with a fireworks-and-music-filled festival
