Narrative XC Sparkling 2022

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: Treve RingPrices:
