Evolve Effervescence NV

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA sparkly 70/30 blend of chardonnay and pinot blanc, this wine has been very good value since its original release and it remains so today. Under winemaker Lynzee Schatz the wine has gained a touch more sophistication for what it is, a mid day bubble made for the patio and and pre-dinner sips. Look for clean fresh pear and melon with only a hint of sweetness before a green apple skin finish. Ready to drink.Tasted: 02 April 2023Tasted by: Prices:

Evolve Effervescence NV

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaEffervescence is a 70% chardonnay and 30% pinot blanc frizzante, and with fruit sourced from Penticton, Osoyoos, and Naramata. With an RS of 4 g/L, it's on the drier side, with ample white florals, pear, kiwi, and apple. Acidity is bright and lively through the snappy finish. A big improvement from when I last tasted this NV a few years back. Chill well, pop, and enjoy now.Tasted: 06 February 2022Tasted by: Prices:

Evolve Effervescence NV

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis 70/30 blend of chardonnay and pinot blanc is made in the charmat method, which adds a subtle lees note to the background. Really, however, this is all about crisp citrus and apple, which are lifted by delicate orchard blossoms. Light, brisk, and dry, this is perfect for a spring weekend brunch. Think of this as the Okanagan's answer to Prosecco.Tasted: 19 December 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Evolve Effervescence NV

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSparkling wine has become a thing in BC, and for the most part, it is a good thing. This 70/30 mix of chardonnay and pinot blanc is an excellent example of the exploration and experimentation happening across the province, where acidity is a gift. It is primarily dry (hooray), full of floral pear, crisp apple, with a subtle frizzante bubble. A fun sparkler to while away an afternoon on a sunny patio. Bring on the summer.Tasted: 07 February 2022Tasted by: Prices:

Evolve Effervescence NV

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis new charmat (prosecco-style) fizz from Evolve is a dry blend of pinot blanc and chardonnay. A very high level of aggressive bubbles greets, as does a pleasant light apple blossom note before an assertive, crunchy palate, sour crab apple, and bitter pressed pith notes on a short finish.Tasted: 28 November 2016Tasted by: Prices:
