Haywire Chardonnay Canyonview Vineyard Grey Label 2012
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPotent dried herbs and grass opens the nose - desert sage, dried Ponderosa pine, meadow scrub. These intriguing sandy, earthy, desert characters carry through to the lingering finish, joining a medium-bodied palate of creamy musk melon, subtle pineapple rind, yellow apple and Asian pear. Savoury, stony spice elements dominate; wild ferment, zero oak and low vintner intervention allow the terraced vineyard's nature to dominate chardonnay's blank canvas. Not your typical Okanagan chardonnay and that's a welcome relief. Pair with salt crusted roast chicken and sage dressing.Tasted: 12 March 2015Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $23.00 | 750ml | winery direct; private wine shops |
