Karl MyWinePal sitting in a Singletree cabana
After visiting Cannon Estate Winery, my next Fraser Valley winery stop was at Singletree Winery, which is only a few minutes away. Thank you to Tourism Abbotsford for setting this meeting up for me. I met with Debbie Etsell from Singletree who poured me a selection of their wines, while I sat in one of their cabanas overlooking the vineyard. A cabana is a small open seating area with a roof, a bench to seat two, and a table between the seating area so you and your friend or spouse have a place to rest your glass of wine. There is also a propane fire pit near your feet which they can turn on when the weather starts to get chilly.
This is a 67-acre operating farm, owned by the Etsell family. Besides growing grapes and making wine, they also raise turkeys. Debbie’s son, Andrew, is the winemaker. All their wines are vegan-friendly.
My Wine Tasting Notes
Singletree Winery Wild Siggy 2017 (BC $21.66) – This is their natural wine made from the Siegerrebe grape. It is bottled unfiltered. It has a medium-intensity clear apricot colour. Medium-plus aromas of ripe apricots. It is dry, with a medium body and a lean mouthfeel. Dried apricots, and touches of ginger, floral, and apricot skin on the palate. Medium tannins. Medium length with some pepperiness on the finish. A nice, geeky wine. <img data-recalc-dims="1" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.mywinepal.com/images/4.5_Star_Rating.jpg?w=597&ssl=1"
