Chateau Ste. Michelle Chardonnay 2022

Chateau Ste. Michelle Chardonnay 2022 is a bright, beautifully balanced, and classic expression of Washington State’s premier cool-climate winemaking. Sourced from both warm and cool vineyard sites throughout the expansive Columbia Valley, this wine crafted by Washington's oldest winery nicely captures the natural fruit purity of the region. The nose opens with juicy aromas of sweet citrus, crisp green apple, and melon, delicately interwoven with undertones of fresh vanilla and toasted oak. On the palate, a portion of stainless-steel fermentation preserves its refreshing acidity and clean mineral line, while sur lie aging and partial malolactic fermentation contribute a rich, silky texture with nuances of peach, salted butter, and soft baking spices.

Food Pairing: This versatile white pairs elegantly with grilled chicken breast, crab cakes, pan-fried prawns, pasta primavera, roasted turkey, or soft cheeses like Camembert.
