Ehrenfelser VQA Wine Details
Price: $16.09 per bottle

Description: The natural citrus flavours of pink grapefruit, peach, nectarine, lime, plus a hint of nutmeg, are retained through cold fermentation in stainless steel tanks.

Varietal Definition
Ehrenfelser:
Grape resulting from the crossing of Riesling and a Sylvaner clone. Many consider it second only to the Kerner grape-cross as a frost-resistant Riesling type substitute for the better known Muller-Thurgau grape widely grown in Germany and elsewhere. Mild acid content discourages aging. Claimed to have excellent Riesling grape similarities in taste etc. Small acreages can now be found in the Okanagan region of western Canada, where it appears to do well.
