This will be the very first chance to sample and purchase the 2016 ‘Siggy’ (aka: the winery’s flagship Siegerrebe wine: floral, rich, flavourful), the 2016 Rosé (enticing, fresh, lively) and the all-new ‘Wild Siggy’ (textured, complex, delicious).
The tasting room and picnic area will be open for all to enjoy. Take advantage of case-lot sales on library vintages. The picnic fridge will be fully-stocked, making it the perfect opportunity to spend a family-friendly afternoon in Fraser Valley wine country.
On the 2016 harvest, winemaker and viticulturist Andrew Etsell noted, “the harvest was our earliest on record, but the grapes developed beautiful flavours with balanced acids and sugars. We started with our Siggy (Siegerrebe), which is evolving into one of our most popular wines. We’re so proud of our first-ever Wild Siggy and can’t wait to share it with our guests.”
