Haywire Chardonnay 2022
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSourced from Naramata Bench, this Chardonnay was whole bunch pressed and native fermented in a mix of stainless, concrete, amphora, and foudre, before resting on lees in concrete and foudre. All those elements add layers of complexity to this classic chardy, with green apple, bright lemon, verbena, downy lees, and pencil shavings, the latter lingering on the snappy finish. Super smart, while being super friendly, this is an easy choice to reach for.Tasted: 03 June 2024Tasted by: Prices:BC | $29.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers, restaurants |
