Haywire Free Form Natural and Unfiltered White 2015
Summerland Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFree Form wines have floaties in the bottle, reflective of their zero cellar intervention. This is natural wine, through the lens of Haywire winemaker Matt Dumayne and global wine consultant Alberto Antonini. This is a direct reflection (no additives or removals) of Summerland's Waters & Banks Vineyard. Wild yeast fermented in stainless steel, this spent nine months on the skins before being pressed unfiltered. Piercing sweet lemon sauvignon with pear oil, gooseberry, elderflower meadow grasses and saline notes glide atop a base of river stones. Green asparagus weaves throughout, as does a medicinal herbal grip. A gentle sweetness on the finish.
