Free Form by Okanagan Crush Pad Ancient Method 2017
Summerland Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFree Form is an organic, zero-intervention lineup of wines from Haywire Winery in Summerland, BC. The pinot noir fruit is the first to come off the Garnet Valley Ranch project. It was whole bunch pressed into 2000L concrete tanks and fermented on native yeast. The ancestral method means the bottles are filled only once, leaving the fermentation bubbles trapped in the bottle. At six months the bottle is disgorged and topped up with zero sugar. The result is a fresh, tight, red apple, citrus bubble with super fresh acidity. Impressive for such a young vineyard. The labels are made with ground stones turned into a fine powder and rolled to thinness. The process uses no water and no paper. The wine is delicious.Tasted: 30 September 2018Tasted by: Prices:

Free Form by Okanagan Crush Pad Ancient Method 2017
Summerland Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFree Form is the new organic, zero-intervention line from Haywire. From their newly planted Garnet Valley Ranch (planted 2013), this is young pinot noir, whole bunch pressed into 2000L concrete tanks and start native ferment. As per ancestrale, the bottles were filled during fermentation, and it completed in bottle, trapping all the bubbly goodness. After six months in bottle it was disgorged with no dosage. Tight and racy, with red apple, lemon, grapefruit pith acidity that rock skips across the palate. Bone dry, but with enough of an orchard kiss of RS (2.3 g/l) to prevent severity, you can enjoy this liberally, which is easy to do at 11.5 degrees. These new Free Form labels are made of stone paper: ground stones turned into a fine powder, which is then rolled to thinness. The process uses no water and no paper.Tasted: 30 August 2018Tasted by: Prices:
