Sage Hayward Rosé 2021
Southern Gulf Islands, British Columbia, CanadaSage Hayward Vineyards is a new family-owned estate found on Saturna, comprised of two brothers and their wives. They purchased and recovered mostly fallow vineyards on a property that Sea Star had owned, but had to sell. Tyler Cox is the winemaker, and Michael Bartier is a consultant. This is Falconridge vineyard pinot noir, whole cluster pressed with no skin contact and fermented in stainless where it remained on lees for 5 months. Pale pink in hue, this slight (10.8%) screaming acid rosé streams grapefruit, lemon pith, wild strawberries, all lit with a bright marine acidity, and a wee spritz across a yeasty palate. A new coastal pink to suit local sushi / sashimi this summer. A promising new project.Tasted: 27 July 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $28.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
