Haywire Switchback Organic Vineyard Pinot Gris 2020
Summerland Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSince its inception, we have tracked Summerland-based Switchback Vineyard's extensive renovation and conversion to becoming certified organic. Switchback, the jewel of the Haywire empire, is no ordinary pinot gris vineyard and no ordinary wine. The home vineyard is alive, and that energy and concentration is alive and well in the generous 2020. The fruit is wild fermented and aged in concrete tanks for ten months before coming out with a rich texture, light golden colour, and honey and sagebrush scent. The palate is stony, with a fresh citrus finish. It is one of a handful of Canadian pinot gris with the structure and complexity to be on the dinner table.
