Haywire Gamay Noir Rosé 2022

89POINTS

16^¼/20

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPouring a deeper pink, this gamay rosé was made in the saignée method, with the bled juice wild fermented in concrete and stainless steel, before aging for seven months. It offers a richer, riper nose, with wild red berries accented with peppery spice and perfumed florals leading to a dry, weighty, textured palate with crisp acidity. There's a clear gamay character here, almost more of a very light red, giving this a distinctive quality that's a worthwhile detour from the ocean of pale pink rosés on shelves.Tasted: 11 August 2024Tasted by: Prices:

Haywire Gamay Noir Rosé 2022

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPale ruby garnet in colour, this gamay rosé, made using the saignée method, leans more towards red than rosé, both in hue and flavour. Naturally fermented in concrete and stainless steel before aging for 7 months, it offers rich flavours of juicy, sweet red berries, almost like a compote, along with cracked black pepper, and subtle spices. Expect a lingering, savoury finish with a spicy kick. Delicious.Tasted: 14 May 2024Tasted by: Prices:

Haywire Gamay Noir Rosé 2022

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis gamay rosé, primarily from Kelowna, with a tip of Summerland fruit, had three days of skin contact and was whole cluster pressed to concrete, foudre, and stainless for native ferment, before aging in stainless for seven months. Super peppery, with that brisk energy leading this deeper-hued rosé through the snappy finish. Baked rhubarb, tangy pink grapefruit, and cherry blossoms flush out the palate, with an alluring orange peel lingering. Not a shy rosé, but certainly a charmer.Tasted: 06 June 2024Tasted by: Prices:
