Updated January 2026 to reflect current availability and market conditions following the 2025 harvest.

As the Okanagan eases into the cooler months 🍂, these bright, affordable BC white blends continue to shine—perfect for fall comfort foods, cozy winter evenings ❄️, and early holiday entertaining ✨.

British Columbia has quietly become one of Canada’s strongest regions for white wine blends. Cooler growing conditions preserve acidity, while small-lot production allows winemakers to experiment with complementary varieties rather than rely on a single grape. At the under-$25 price point, this often results in wines that feel more expressive and food-friendly than many imported alternatives.

But what exactly is a white blend❓ It’s any white wine made from more than one grape varietal 🍇➕🍇. The beauty of blending is the variety — winemakers can create fresh, vibrant, food-friendly wines that are often more affordable 💵💖.

In BC, you’ll often find Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Riesling, and Gewürztraminer leading the charge 🌸🍏🍑🌼. Add in a few other aromatic whites, and you’ve got bottles that are bright, versatile, and oh-so perfect for girls’ nights, brunches, or just a solo sunset pour 🌅👯‍♀️🥂.

Hatfield’s Fuse 2024 ($22)

41% Pinot Gris • 39% Riesling • 20% Viognier

The iconic Blasted Church aromatic blend returns with beautifully layered fruit, lifted aromatics, and outstanding balance.

The fruit for the 2024 Hatfield’s Fuse was sourced from Sustainable WA-certified Andrews Family Vineyards in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA. Each block was harvested separately at its ideal combination of sugar, acid, and flavour—with an eye to both the individual components and the final blend.

Selective skin contact on a few lots was used to boost aromatic intensity and mouthfeel. Each variety plays a clear role: Pinot Gris brings orchard and stone fruits plus texture, Riesling contributes brilliant acidity and citrus notes, and Viognier adds floral character and weight on the palate. In 2024, each component is performing its role beautifully.

Pale straw colour. A smorgasbord of lemon, clementine, pear, green apple, white peach and tropical fruit aromas. On the palate, a juicy attack of lemon, orange, florals, and peach, supported by lively acidity through the mid-palate. Orchard-fruit flavours take over from there, and the rich texture builds through a long, fresh finish. 91 Points

A natural fit for poached salmon, pork schnitzel, roasted chicken, or creamy pasta dishes.

Black Market Collusion Series – Sémillon • Sauvignon Blanc 2024 ($26)

This Semillon–Sauvignon Blanc narrowly misses the under-$25 cutoff but consistently punches above its price point.

Crafted from 75% Sémillon and 25% Sauvignon Blanc, sourced from Arete Vineyard (Columbia Valley) and Airfield Ranch Vineyard (Yakima Valley). Fermented in 3rd-fill and neutral French oak and aged for 9 months.

12.9% alc / pH 3.5 / TA 6.0 g/L / RS 0.4 g/L

The vibrant dry white blend has aromas of grapefruit, citrus and butterscotch. The palate shows ripe grapefruit, Meyer lemon, and lemongrass, layered over a creamy, luxurious body, supported by balanced acidity. A very elegant white wine. Great to drink on its own or paired with seafood.  92 Points
