 SAN JUAN VINEYARDS ESTATE GROWN 2008 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 2008 Siegerrebe was released shortly after bottling. It received a Silver Medal at the WA Wine Competition, and an "Outstanding" recognition at the Seattle Wine Awards.
Growing and Winemaking: The Siegerrebe was picked on October 5, 2008, whole-cluster pressed, fermented, and was bottled on April 7, 2009 265 Cases with 11.3% alcohol, and a dry finish. Retail Price: $18.00 |
