Reviews and Ratings

Deborah Podurgiel WSET IV Candidate - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Narrative by Okanagan Crush Pad Chenin Blanc 2020 is yummylicious. This is one zesty CB, dry, medium-bodied with brilliant acidity on the palate with well-defined and pure fruit flavours of fresh-cut apple, pear, fresh lemon, grapefruit zest with a long and vibrant briny mineral finish. The grapes for this vintage were sourced from the Naramata in British Columbia and the wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered.

We chilled and enjoyed it with a vegetarian pizza topped with sliced black olives, goat cheese, red pepper and arugula, and a pescatarian pizza with fresh spinach, goat cheese, sautéed mushrooms and smoked salmon. Did it go with the Chenin Blanc? Heck Yes! And a perfectly delicious pairing it was. Tasted October 2023.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
