Blue Grouse Charme de l'île Sparkling NV

Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaThe latest Charme de L'île reflects the evolution Blue Grouse has been undertaking since being purchased by the Jackson Family group of wineries. This latest iteration of a truly Wine Islands wine blends ortega, schönburger, pinot gris, and bacchus from various vineyards on Vancouver Island. It was fermented in stainless to dryness, then moved in the charmat tank for secondary ferment and an RS left at 8 g/L. Crisp and bright with gooseberry, white melon, and crunchy Asian pear along a snappy, brief palate that finishes with a tangerine twist. Fun, fresh, and easy to enjoy on a patio or brunching.Tasted: 17 April 2026Tasted by: Prices:
