Narrative Malbec 2017
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis small batch of malbec was grown in Osoyoos in a vineyard bordering the USA. Destemmed grapes go into amphora and one 600L barrel, and post ferment the wine spent eight months on its skins before the vessels are blended into a single concrete egg. Dusky blue in profile, with blueberry, dark plum centring the core, and sweet wild blackberry, thorns, and a potent swing of balsamic seasoning. Fine, brisk tannins frame, and peppery spice finishes. Narrative is Haywire's line of wines involving purchased fruit and made to reflect the unique terroir of the Okanagan. Only 135 cases produced, and it's delicious.Tasted: 21 August 2018Tasted by: Treve Ring & Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $29.90 | 750ml | winery direct |
