Haywire Pinot Gris 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaLike so many successful Haywire wines, this is drawn from the cooler, higher altitude, limestone-studded Secrest Mountain Vineyard, just north of Oliver. Winemaker Matt Dumayne gets pinot gris; it's always near the pinnacle of their vast portfolio, across all levels. This, "white label", is seen as the entry level tier of the Haywire wines, and still far better than many (more expensive) contemporaries. Dusty sage is kissed with anise overtop of cool pear, lemon pith and verbena-led acidity, with a finely tuggy/grippy texture that reflects its ferment and aging in concrete tanks for ten months. Organic farming and whole bunch pressing adds to its depth. Killer value, especially with 2016 vintage.Tasted: 10 November 2017Tasted by: Treve Ring & Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $22.90 | 750ml | winery direct, private retail, restaurants |
