Perle Dessert Wine VQA

Perle Dessert Wine VQA Wine Details
Price: $21.90 per bottle

Description: Perle is an exquisite dessert wine, crafted from Perle of C'saba, Ortega and Siegerrebe grapes, finished in an exotic, wintery, sweet fruit style. Enjoy served cold on fresh fruit or as an elegant Aperitif. Sweetness code is a 9, with nicely balanced acidity.

Varietal Definition
Ortega:
Ortega’s winter-hardy character has allowed this grape to be successfully grown in British Columbia, and with limited success in Canada’s eastern province of Nova Scotia. This German cross of Muller Thurgau and Siegerrebe is primarily used to enhance Riesling in poor vintages in the Rheinhessen region of Germany. On its own, it can produce rich, flowery, peachy wines, with high natural sugar levels. However, its generally low acidity and its susceptibility to fungal diseases and coulure have limited its use.
Siegerrebe:
Grape derived from cross between Gewurztraminer and an unspecified table grape. Grown in limited amounts in Germany and used as small percentage amounts in blends.
