Wine Details
Price:
$14.90 per bottle
Description:
This German-developed grape is a cross of Müller-Thurgau and Siegerrebe. It major advantage is its ability to mature readily to adequate to high sugar levels early and in less than ideal growing conditions. For this reason, the variety has become a staple to wineries on Vancouver Island an in the most northerly extensions of the Okanagan Valley. The somewhat exotic flavours of the wine -- Muscat and apricots -- make it both a good apéritif and a favourite with Asian foods. Cherry Point's Wayne Ulrich likes it with his wife's home-made bread and peanut butter. "I've had it with Cajun chicken," vintner Loretta Zanatta says, "It takes a lot to wipe out Ortega."
