Haywire Sauvignon Blanc Raised in Concrete White Label 2013
Summerland Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWith the trademarked tagline "raised in concrete" and a tasting note promising this was "mercifully spared oak" you can rightfully assume this is not your average sauvignon blanc. Indeed, this wine reflects the character of its place (Trout Creek Vineyard, Summerland) rather than the grape. Gardenia blossoms, honey and herbs open to a creamy and generous palate, textured with dried thyme, lemon thistle, nettle, stone and gooseberry and a white grapefruit pithy bitterness on the finish. Native ferment comes through via an earthy, dried thyme savoury element. Very intriguing and layered - kept me going back to the glass.Tasted: 16 February 2015Tasted by: Prices:
