Narrative
Country: Canada
Region: Okanagan
Winemaker: Matt Dumayne
Launched in 2014, Narrative wines and spirits are made at Christine Coletta and Steve Lornie’s Okanagan Crush Pad in Summerland, BC. Okanagan Crush Pad’s fundamental aim is to showcase what the Okanagan is best at: cool climate, aromatic, crisp, and lively wines and spirits made exclusively from Okanagan grown grapes. Our region is one of the rarest wine growing terroirs in the world combining both an arid desert landscape and snowy winters, with an intense short growing season. Wines from this region are benchmarks for cool climate style, presenting vivid fruit flavours and fresh natural acidity.Narrative articulates this through winemaker Matt Dumayne’s creation of unique blends and small lots of varietal wines made from grapes sourced from the top growers throughout the Okanagan. Label artwork was the inspiration of Vancouver artist Scott Sueme, who has created a Dazzle-style graffiti that incorporates a complex pattern of geometric shapes in contrasting colours, interrupting and intersecting each other. The label embodies this design ethos and makes a bold and modern statement which symbolizes the new style of Narrative wines and spirits.
