Haywire Chardonnay 2022
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Haywire style is low intervention and fermented in a range of fermentation vessels, in this case, a mix of stainless, concrete, amphora, and foudre, before a final maturation on its lees in concrete for six months. Lean bright and complex, this a vibrant mix of green apple, lemon, and creamy lees before the right streak of acidity fires up the finish. Thoughtful, complex, and sneaky fun to drink. One of the best yet.Tasted: 14 May 2024Tasted by: Prices:BC | $29.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers, restaurants |
