SAN JUAN VINEYARDS ESTATE GROWN 2006 SIEGERREBE

From our Estate Vineyard seen as you drive along Roche Harbor Road, our Siegerrebe vineyard is in view. This interesting, light varietal has aromatic floral and tree fruit nose with crisp citrus and pear flavors finishing with a hint of grapefruit. There's just a hint of sweetness. The Siegerrebe is a wonderful, summertime entertaining wine.

Food Pairing: Yes, we have worked successfully pairing the Siegerrebe with many Shellfish entrees. The Siegerrebe pairs best with Sauteed Prawns with a lemon/caper sauce served over pasta, a Prawn appetizer, Crab Cakes, a light Clam Chowder, or a Bouillabaisse. And, remember to add a bit and a sip while you are preparing the meal.

Our 2006 Siegerrebe was released shortly after bottling. A Silver medal was awarded the Siegerrebe in June, 2007 at the prestigious Riverside State Fair in Riverside, CA.

Growing and Winemaking:
The Siegerrebe is a German and Austrian varietal grown where temperatures are cooler such as our Puget Sound area. It is a great growing grape for our Puget Sound Appellation of which we are a part. The Siegerrebe is a beautiful fruit looking like Gewurztraminer in the vineyard. It is delicious!! The Siegerrebe was picked on September 30, was whole cluster pressed, fermented, and ready for the April bottling.
