“This is a new producer that is quickly establishing itself as one of the premier Puget Sound-focused wineries.” And quickly established itself as a WIA winning winery too!

So, Wine Enthusiast wrote in their 93-point review of the 2020 vintage of this same wine.

They followed up with “joyful and exuberant, light on its feet but with a lot of intensity of flavor. It’s a complete delight, with exquisite balance” and we could not agree more. This stuff simply rocks!

Easily the most fascinating white we found this year and the perfect way to start off Discovery Days. And at $20 it’s a bargain among bargains. In fact, this is the single most purchased white among your own Agents of Wine - not kidding when I say we took home 5-6 cases of the stuff collectively!

And many of you did as well. Check out these comments from the Facebook group (which you should totally be a part of if you aren’t already).

“Very easy to drink” “Ooomrang? More like OMG!” “Huge crowd-pleasing potential”

But if you missed out earlier this year, now is the time to make amends and treat yourself to a truly spectacular experience.

Who doesn’t like a great Gewürz? Gewürztraminer, that is, with the most exotic perfume of all grapes. Well, its offspring Siegerrebe is indiscernibly made of the same stuff, vinified to a white so delightful and singular, unmatched by any other.

The last few vintages got great scores (93-95ish) and most wines from this brand kill it with reviewers, but we got to this recent vintage before press has been released.

This is possibly the best $20 investment you could make to set your new year on the right path.

Back to geekdom, and Wikipedia, “Siegerrebe (literally “Victory vine” in German) is a white wine grape that is grown primarily in Germany with some plantings in England, Vancouver Island, Washington state, British Columbia’s North Okanagan and Fraser Valley and Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley along with a small planting in Tasmania, Australia at Every Man and His Dog Vineyard. Siegerrebe was created by German viticulturalist Dr. Georg Scheu (1879-1949) in 1929 at a grape-breeding institute in Alzey in Rheinhessen, by crossing Madeleine Angevine and Gewürztraminer.”

Just L@@K at that bottle! And then pop that convenient Vinolok off to set the lychees, mint leaves, green citrus, and minerals free, all vibing effortlessly on the palate too in a fresh, vibrant, juicy style. It’s perplexingly ripe with fruit while balanced and seemingly dry as they come, abundant acidity, plenty of rich texture, and a long finish. No doubt it’s a gem for the dinner table, or lunch, or a breakfast of champions!

In a sea of Chardonnay and Sauv Blanc, it’s refreshing to see a domestic producer working with lesser-known varietals like Siegerrebe, Muller-Thurgau, and the almost-unknown Kerner and Sylvaner. And what’s crazy is each one over delivers on expectations.

Especially at $20! This is a must try.
