Haywire Gamay 2018

Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaHaywire has an excellent feel for the gamay noir grape, and this wine is no exception. Finley spiced and perfectly ripe it comes off the 15-hectare Secrest Mountain Vineyard, just north of Oliver. This is farmed organically and will be shortly certified if it isn’t already so. It has a luxurious texture for a cool climate gamay but with plenty of acidity and freshness and even more juicy thyme and raspberry. It was fermented in a combination of open-top and concrete fermenters before ageing for eight months in large Nico Velo concrete tanks. A friendly style red that reaches its zenith with pork and mushroom dishes.Tasted: 30 May 2020Tasted by: Prices:

Haywire Gamay 2018

Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSourced from Secrest Mountain Vineyard in Oliver, this gamay was partially whole cluster fermented before being aged for eight months in concrete. It combines juicy black fruits with gamay’s spicy, savoury side, including an attractive herbal, stemmy note. It's easy to think of gamay as an archetypal glou-glou wine, but that oversimplifies the variety's stylistic diversity. This wine is a classically structured expression with firm tannins, that you won't want to excessively chill. The result: a delicious, food friendly gamay that easily overdelivers at this price.Tasted: 30 May 2020Tasted by: Prices:
