SIEGERREBE (Madeleine Angevine x Gewurztraminer) An intensely aromatic variety producing delicious tasting rose colored grapes with high sugar content. Very early maturing and if allowed to over ripen on the vine will produce a dominating flavour in wines. The vine is suited to colder climates as bud-burst is late and fruit ripening is very early. The vines are fruitful and vigor is low with grape bunches being large and loosely packed. Killing temperature of Siegerrebe is -14.4 °F (-26 °C). Wines made with Siegerrebe have wonderful flavors of citris, lychee, peach and honey.
EHRENFELSER (Riesling x Sylvaner) Is a white wine grape that is extremely frost resistant. Significant amounts of Ehrenfelser are found in the Okanagan region of British Columbia. Many consider Ehrenfelser as the best of the frost-resistant Riesling substitutes. It ripens slightly earlier than Riesling and grows in less ideal vineyard sites. Typically, it produces more fruit than its noble parent, given the same conditions.
