Haywire Waters and Banks Sauvignon Blanc Raised in Concrete 2014
Summerland Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaNamed for the Summerland vineyard owned by Terry Waters and Cathy Banks, this sauvignon blanc has been given a great deal of attention beginning with Chilean rock star Pedro Parra who calls the site rare and special. It was fermented and aged in concrete using wild yeast. The stony herbal blossoms and subtle lemon open what is a creamy textured white no doubt broadened via the concrete. More alluring wild herbs, lemon oil, light cream, lees, subtle wildflowers, clementine pith/peel and wild fennel stream on the palate, with fresh gooseberry-clad acidity and a spice lingering mineral finish. More Okanagan than sauvignon blanc its wine that reinvents itself with every sip. Pour alongside game fowl and richer fish dishes. Good value.Tasted: 07 August 2015Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:| BC | $25.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
