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.
A true Nectar of the Gods!
