Haywire Chardonnay Canyonview Vineyard 2013
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFirst whiff conjures up herb and salt roasted wild chicken. My mouth waters before I even put anything in it. These savoury dried herbs and scrubby meadow bush aromas last through the lingering finish, carrying a creamy, potent palate of desert citrus, herb-laced pear, musk melon, stony, savoury lees and fine spices. Fermentation with wild yeast and in concrete tank amps up the complexity and mouthfeel exponentially, and low vintner intervention allows this terraced vineyard's terroir to shine. Alert: this doesn't taste like chardonnay. It tastes like Canyonview. Well done. Serve slightly chilled and pair with that herb trussed poultry, naturally.Tasted: 17 March 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $23.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
