Haywire Free Form Natural and Unfiltered White 2013
Summerland Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFree form is true to name; Summerland chardonnay and sauvignon blanc was fermented with wild yeast, blended and bottled without enzymes or SO2, and allowed to chart its own timeline in the winery (enjoying a leisurely 8 months on the skins before pressing). The result is a snapshot of nut, straw, citrus and green apple / apple peel aromas. The textured palate carries through into hay, salted lemon peel, wet stone, quiet pear blossom, bitter herbal flowers and a quince compote spiciness and struck flint finish. Delicate and sharp at once, this wine keeps you going back to look for more. Challenging, interesting, free form. Pour just slightly chilled with aged hard cheeses or herb roasted chicken thighs and potatoes. Tasted: 12 January 2015Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $30.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
