Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
An aromatic delight, 40 Knots Siegerrebe bursts with
intense floral and tropical fruit notes. The nose is filled with lychee, rose
petals, and ripe peach, while the palate offers layers of juicy melon, citrus
zest, and a hint of spice. A touch of honeyed sweetness balances the crisp acidity, leading to a smooth, refreshing finish. This unique varietal shines when paired with spicy dishes, fresh seafood, or creamy cheeses. Serve well-chilled for the ultimate aromatic experience.
Vineyard Notes
The 2023 vintage on the Comox Peninsula was exceptional, thanks to a favorable climate. After a strong start with good moisture, a warm May spell boosted vine vitality. Cooling temperatures and rain led to an early harvest, with careful hand-picking to ensure the best quality and capture the unique characteristics of each varietal.
Winemaker Notes
Gradual field blend hand harvest, destem, press, settle, rack clear juice with fluffly and knotty lees. Inoc in SS with EC1118 and QA23, chill ferment 14°C until 3-6°B, then let it buck. Age on lees for 8 months, stir weekly the knotty way. Monthly checks plus SO2 plus bubbles. Stabilize the Knotty Way with organic bento, temp and time.
Filter and bottle.

Nice light wine, with earthy overtones. Very enjoyable to sit back and sip on the patio.

40 knots is one of our favorite wineries on Vancouver Island. We love pairing Sieg with seafood and lighter meals. It has a wonderful bouquet and goes down way to easy!

This year I really favoured the Sieg for its bold, refreshing taste. It paired well with grilled local oysters, fresh greens and roasted potatoes. A lovely white wine to have ready in the fridge for guests (if it lasts!).
