Summerland Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis single vineyard gamay rosé comes off Haywire's estate Secrest Mountain Vineyard in Oliver. It's slightly darker in colour, going against the pale rosé trend of the moment, but it's all the better for it. There's an attractive combination of expressive fruit and savoury complexity, with dried cherry, rose petal, sagebrush, and layers of spice. Dry, with a soft, silky texture that elevates this wine (it's aged in concrete prior to bottling), there's excellent fruit intensity on the palate, which makes this a contemplative rosé to enjoy on its own, or equally versatile when it comes to food pairing.Tasted: 23 February 2022Tasted by: Prices:

Haywire Gamay Noir Rosé Secrest Mountain Vineyard 2020

Summerland Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaHaywire has farmed Secrest Mountain Vineyard for several years, and now they own its rare limestone-laced soils. Like most Haywire wines, it is native fermented and aged in concrete. The pale red colour comes with an orange tone. The soft creamy textures are flush with intense cherry dusted in sagebrush before the mineral sea salt finish kicks in. So complex and food-friendly, this is quintessential BC.Tasted: 23 February 2022Tasted by: Prices:

Haywire Gamay Noir Rosé Secrest Mountain Vineyard 2020

Summerland Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom their estate Secrest Mountain vineyard and its special limestone-laced soils, this blush-hued gamay rosé was native fermented and aged in concrete, imparting that alluring textural complexity the winery is known for. Wild strawberries, Rainier cherries run the juicy, streamlined palate, seasoned with sagebrush and a cool, stony, saline minerality, and finishing with a tea leaf and orange rind note. Pure, clean, and quite moreish, and one you'll want to return to often this summer. #GoGamayGo.Tasted: 20 March 2022Tasted by: Prices:
