British Columbia sparkling wines featured in seasonal column
In a recent column, Chris Herbert highlights various sparkling wines from British Columbia, suggesting they are suitable for any season rather than being limited to specific times of the year.
Featured selections include Sandhill’s Secco, a Chardonnay and Pinot Noir blend produced using the Charmat Method. Other notable mentions include Adega Estate Winery’s Espumante, a balanced off-dry blend, and Hester Creek’s Ti Amo, which features Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Muscat grapes.
The column also highlights the 2025 Narrative XC Sparkling wine from Naramata, an Auxerrois, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir blend. A de-alcoholised 0.5% sparkling wine option is also noted for its strawberry notes and crisp profile.
