Narrative Chenin Blanc, 2020
Shipped and sold by Okanagan Crush Pad
Chenin Blanc from Naramata was placed in both stainless and concrete tanks for native yeast fermentation. Full malolactic fermentation followed over the winter and the wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered. Bright tropical fruits, preserved lemons and a distinctive saline minerality lead into a full bodied and savoury Okanagan wine. Layers of quince, lemons and grapefruit are carried by the varietal’s hallmark acidity.
Pairing: Pair with oysters or fresh seafood
