They landed in Hawke's Bay and never left. The region earns the attention: warm days, cool Pacific nights, and mountain-shielded growing seasons that preserve acidity naturally — a place where unoaked Chardonnay doesn't need engineering to taste complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePop a Wheelie is native yeast, stainless steel, low sulfur — and nothing else. Early-pick fruit from the Bridge Pa Triangle's clay and loam soils comes in with acidity intact; wild fermentation adds texture without weight. The 2022 ran to 60 cases. Apple and pear up front, citrus driving the palate, white flowers on the nose — the profile that normally requires an expensive Burgundy address, from a two-person operation making fewer than 6,000 bottles a year total. Pour this for the customer who says they don't like Chardonnay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePAIRINGS :\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eRoast chicken with lemon and herbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003efruit weight matches the fat; acidity keeps the pairing clean\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eGrilled sea bass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ethe lean citrus line is built for white fish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eSpicy Thai green curry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003efreshness and floral character cut through heat better than an oaked Chardonnay would\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Selection Massale","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44830151508127,"sku":"7589","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0232\/3203\/files\/IMG_2704.jpg?v=1705975274","url":"https:\/\/eastsidecellars.com\/products\/responsible-hedonist-pop-a-wheelie-white-hawkes-bay-750ml","provider":"Eastside Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
