Iapyx- 2011 - Canyon Wind Cellars

“In Vino Ventus”
Creation
The god of the northwest wind, Iapyx, was often associated
with Boreas (the god of the north wind) and represented
the cooler days and nights indicative of the onset of winter.
2011 was a mild season from start to finish and developed
into the latest harvest in the twenty-year history of our
vineyard. The extended season provided us with ample time
to hang the fruit until we reached the desired sugar of 33°
Brix at harvest.
The 2011 Iapyx is a late harvest Pinot Grigio produced in
the style of a Hungarian Royal Tokaji. Slowly fermented to
ensure we captured all of the delicate and bright fruit
aromas, Iapyx enchants the nose with scents of lychee, apricot and honey. Flavors of apricot, clover honey and the
slightest hint of cinnamon combine for a sumptuous
mouthfeel and perfect sugar-acid balance.
