Blue Grouse Estate Siegerrebe 2024

Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaThe siegerrebe grape sits outside the mainstream varieties in BC, but it plays to Vancouver Island's strengths of aromatic lift, moderate alcohol, and easy charm. At Blue Grouse, the siegerrebe is sourced from BG Ranch in the Cowichan Valley. It is fermented and aged in neutral French oak barrels, with some lees stirring to build body and mouthfeel. Its strength lies in the opening: a mix of fragrant citrus, spicy litchi, and dried apricot. The palate is dry, vibrant, and expressive, showing lemon, litchi, and slightly bitter citrus rind in the finish. Try something hyper-local and different.Tasted: 24 April 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
