Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaNarrative's XC Sparkling is both mindful and demure. The lightweight glass and Stelvin closure are designed to handle its carbonated Prosecco-style pressure, which is the mindful part of this mix of Naramata-based auxerrois and chardonnay. At the same time, its pale pink hue is the demure portion. Crisp, clean, and dry, it pitches melon, citrus, and red fruit with a medium wash of lees from spending 90 (XC) days inside innovative charmat tanks that were designed to lie on their sides to provide a bigger surface of lees to juice. Daily stirring creates a subtle creamy texture to finish the picture. This is a rosé bubble for wine nuts.Tasted: 14 May 2024Tasted by: Prices:

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaNarrative's XC Sparkling is packaged in lightweight glass and stelvin that can handle the pressure of sparkling. This blush-hued charmat blends Naramata grown Auxerrois and Chardonnay, fermented in a mix of concrete, stainless, and large barrels before spending 3 months in charmat tanks. Crisp and dry (4.8 g/L RS), this streams pink grapefruit, crunchy Asian pear, and subtle lime blossoms across a lightly sparkling palate, with a light slick of lees and a buzzy framework. Fun and snappy, this is a convenient fizz to crack into this summer.Tasted: 30 May 2024Tasted by: Prices:
