Wine Details
Price:
$26.10 per bottle
Description:
Selected bunches were pressed very lightly without prior crushing or destemming to make this very limited quantity dry white wine. It has subtle peach-pit and quince aromas and flavours typical of the variety and good body and finish - a great wine for food-pairing adventures. The variety was developed by crossing Müller-Thurgau and Siegerrebe and ripens with extremely high sugars and good acidity in our area.

Varietal Definition
Ortega:
Ortega’s winter-hardy character has allowed this grape to be successfully grown in British Columbia, and with limited success in Canada’s eastern province of Nova Scotia. This German cross of Muller Thurgau and Siegerrebe is primarily used to enhance Riesling in poor vintages in the Rheinhessen region of Germany. On its own, it can produce rich, flowery, peachy wines, with high natural sugar levels. However, its generally low acidity and its susceptibility to fungal diseases and coulure have limited its use.

Siegerrebe:
Grape derived from cross between Gewurztraminer and an unspecified table grape. Grown in limited amounts in Germany and used as small percentage amounts in blends.
