Blue Grouse Charme de l'île Sparkling NV

Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaThe Blue Grouse Charme de l'île Blanc is the Cowichan Valley version of a mid-tier Prosecco. Made in the Charmat style, in which a large tank is injected with carbon dioxide to create soft bubbles, the BG version is a fresh mix of Island grapes led by 50% schonberger mixed with chardonnay, pinot gris, and ortega. It is a vibrant sparkler with engaging citrus, floral, and green notes and a hint of salinity inside its creamy texture. A fun, late afternoon, happy hour sipper.Tasted: 26 February 2025Tasted by: Prices:
