WINE DESCRIPTION

Chateau Ste. Michelle Gewürztraminer is a highly acclaimed white wine produced by Chateau Ste. Michelle, one of the oldest and most prestigious wineries in Washington State. This wine is made from grapes grown in the Columbia Valley appellation, which is known for its unique terroir and ideal growing conditions. The vineyards are situated on gentle slopes with well-draining soils, which impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and cool fermentation to preserve the delicate aromas and flavors of the Gewürztraminer grape. The resulting wine is a beautifully balanced and aromatic wine with notes of lychee, rose petals, and spice, making it a perfect pairing for spicy Asian cuisine or as an aperitif.
