WineDiva's Review

Unique, pristine, aromatic.
Vancouver Island's signature grape Ortega, a cross between Siegerrebe and Muller-Thurgau (itself a cross between Riesling and Madeleine Royale) is beautifully represented in Blue Grouse's organic estate version. The majority of its grapes come from vines at least 25 years old that are grown in Fairbridge soils, which vary from fractured silt-loam to gravel and sand.
The variety has a delicacy, and this one is delightfully aromatic with peachy/apricot notes woven with honey, spring flowers, yellow apples and pear atop fresh mountain stream. It's approachable and quaffable with a lovely weight and lime and grapefruit-y undertones.
