WINE DESCRIPTION

Chateau Ste. Michelle Dry Riesling is a premium white wine produced by Chateau Ste. Michelle, one of the most renowned wineries in Washington State. This wine is made from Riesling grapes grown in the Columbia Valley appellation, which is known for its ideal growing conditions for this varietal. The vineyards are situated on the eastern side of the Cascade Mountains, where the warm days and cool nights allow the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The winemaking process involves carefully selecting the grapes and fermenting them in stainless steel tanks to preserve the natural fruit flavors and aromas. The resulting wine is crisp, refreshing, and dry, with notes of citrus, green apple, and mineral. It pairs well with a variety of foods, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Chateau Ste.Michelle Dry Riesling is a crisp and vibrant white wine that presents itself in a light golden hue. On the nose, aromas of ripe pear and wet stone are complemented by subtle notes of honeysuckle and jasmine. The palate is full of flavors of white peach, apricot, and lime zest, all balanced with a hint of minerality and juicy acidity. The finish is long and refreshing, with an elegant mix of citrus and floral flavors. Enjoy this crisp white wine on its own or pair it with seafood dishes for an enjoyable experience.
