Narrative XC Sparkling 0.5 Dealcoholized Sparkling NV

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaXC Sparkling 0 is a dealcoholized wine for people who want to be part of the occasion but need an alternative to the regular alcohol levels in wine. This release is part of a limited 200 case trial that will return regularly if consumer demand supports it. All the inputs that go into this wine before dealcoholization are the same as those used in any of its premium peers. The blend is 56% auxerrois and 44% chardonnay. Look for an attractive light pink hue, delicate bubbles, and light, fresh strawberry and citrus. The attack, as you might expect, is light, leaving the fruit and bubbles to fend for your endorsement. It's clean, dry, tart, and refreshing, and well worth investigating if you're looking for a no-low alternative. A good choice for turkey season.Tasted: 03 October 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
