Gamay (Napa)
Red wine grape · reported 2001–2020
Gamay (Napa), or Napa Gamay, is Valdiguie — a Languedoc grape, not true Gamay, and the confusion is the whole story of the name. CDFA reported it under this name for twenty crop years, 2001 through 2020, reaching 43,186 tons across sixteen districts and 234 bearing acres in its final year. From 2021 the reports print Valdiguie instead, so the series continues under the correct name rather than ending. It gives light, high-acid reds, often made in a fresh carbonic style.
What is published
Counts describe what this atlas holds for Gamay (Napa), not what California grows. A zero is a published answer: it means the source names the grape and reports nothing under it, or does not name it at all.
