Narrative

Per Winkler (see citation): "Gamay is an important variety of the Beaujolais region of France. In California, it or a variety resembling it has been called Napa Gamay. It is a vigorous grower, and very productive when head-trained and spur pruned. The clusters are large medium; conical; well filled. Berries are large medium; round; with thick, tough skins. Ripening in late sesason. The leaves are medium large; almost entire; medium green; somewhat rough." Information taken from http://www.wine-lovers-page.com/wineguest/wgg.html: "At least three different vitis vinifera grape species are permitted to use the term 'Gamay' as their label-specified variety in the U.S.A. The Gamay Noir, Gamay Beaujolais and Napa Gamay. At one time or another each one was thought to be the true Pinot Noir variety of Burgandy before it was determind that many cepage clones existed. The Napa Gamay as grown in California is for the msot part identical with the Valdeguie variety grown in France. However, as a result of investigations by Dr. Olmo of University of California, Davis it was determined that several vineyards in the state contain the true Beaujolais Gamay Noir a Jus Blanc variety clone planted under the name of Napa Gamay, which accouints for its superior reputation." Unidentified source: "Clusters: medium-large, about 1/2 to 2/3 lb., cylindrical, winged, well-filled to compact, the peduncle short and hard. Berries: large, about 2g or more, round, black covered with whitish bloom, neutral flavor, juicy, somewhat crisp; the skins are thick and tough. Growth and Soil Adaptability: a moderately vigorous grower, but less than average udner heavy cropping; does well on a fairly wide range of soil types. Production: very productive at 5 to 7 tons per acre. Harvest Period: mid-october to early November. Special Insect and Disease Problems: leafroll is widely found in older plantings. This virus disease retards sugar development in the fruit and also reduces crop and vine growth."
