Evolve Pink Effervescence NV
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis blend of chardonnay, pinot noir, and pinot blanc is joined by a dollop of syrah for colour, pouring an attractive pale salmon hue. The emphasis is squarely on the fruit thanks to the charmat method, with lemon, red apple, and soft red berries that are lifted by orchard blossoms. There's lovely depth here, well above the norm for the category, with a soft, creamy mousse that leads to a balanced, off dry finish. A fun wine that will make the perfect Okanagan aperitif.Tasted: 02 April 2023Tasted by: Prices:BC | $21.99 | 750ml | BCL Stores |

Evolve Pink Effervescence NV
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe hand sorted and whole bunch pressed grapes blend 50% chardonnay, 40% pinot noir, 9% pinot blanc and one percent shiraz for its peachy salmon colour. All the components are fermented separately but come together nicely in a red fruited fizz with a feather light palate of strawberry, cherry streaked with a touch of mandarin. This is a terrific pink for a watermelon salad or a Margherita pizza. Fantastic value here.Tasted: 02 April 2023Tasted by: Prices:BC | $21.99 | 750ml | BCL Stores |

Evolve Pink Effervescence NV
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA dash of syrah gives this blend of chardonnay and pinot blanc its stylish pale salmon hue. Sourced from up and down the South Okanagan, from Naramata to Penticton to Osoyoos, this Charmat method sparkler leads with citrus and soft red berries, with the emphasis squarely on the bright fruit. Like its Effervescence sibling, this is crisp and refreshingly balanced, though the bubbles may be more obvious and assertive here. It doesn't matter who you serve this to, the bottle's not going to last too long. Well made.Tasted: 19 December 2021Tasted by: Prices:BC | $21.99 | 750ml | BCL Stores |
