Haywire was established in 2009, with the first tiny crop harvested at Switchback Organic Vineyard, starting life as a virtual brand. Today, Haywire has grown into its own as an anchor attraction in Summerland, BC, unveiling a bold new label and a relaxing new visitor lounge spring 2023. Haywire celebrates the Okanagan’s exceptional terroir, embracing a “less is more” style, utilizing state-of-the- art concrete tanks and a gentle winemaking hand.

WINEMAKING
Our 2022 Merlot is a single vineyard wine from 40 year old vines in Naramata. Exhibiting classical Merlot characteristics of dark ripe blackberries, boysenberries and some savoury leather notes. The wine has been fermented in concrete tanks with twice daily gentle punchdowns. This Merlot is instantly drinkable with supple red fruits, sensual silky tannins and balanced with a freshness only the Okanagan can provide.

The King Family Vineyard Merlot is a Matt Dumayne, Kat D'Costa production from a single vineyard of 40 year old vines on the Naramata Bench. The attack is full on merlot with ripe blackberries, boysenberries, and black cherries streaked with savoury leather. The wine has that concrete fermentation textural excellence, supple, silky, and sensual, this slides down before you even notice it. A lemon stuffed roasted chicken would be my food choice. Delicious.
