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

We had a fantastic tasting at the winery today, tasting 6 wines, we liked all of them , but the Sieg was the favourite. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. A lovely experience.

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 wine tastes very fruity, and it's great. Will definitely be visiting this Winery once the Pandemic is over!

My son's favorite! It is a lovely dry wine. Great with food or on its own. Love this with seafood!

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!).
