Chateau Ste. Michelle Description
VINTAGE:
• The 2015 vintage was one of the warmest growing seasons on record in
Washington state.
• Warm temperatures continued through the spring and summer, moderating
slightly into fall and extending an early harvest.
• Overall, 2015 saw optimal ripening across varieties and yielded outstanding
wines throughout the region.
VINEYARDS:
• Sourced from vineyards throughout the Columbia Valley, including our
Horse Heaven Vineyard.
• Columbia Valley vineyards lie in the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains
and receive just 6–8 inches of rainfall annually.
• Warm, sunny days and cool evenings create ideal conditions for aroma and
flavor development in the ripening grapes.
WINEMAKING:
• Yeasts specifically designated for Sauvignon Blanc were used to initiate the
three-week fermentation and release varietal aromas.
• Stainless steel fermented to preserve Sauvignon Blanc’s delicate fruit character.
TASTING NOTES:
“Stainless steel fermentation makes this a crisp Sauvignon Blanc. The wine
offers bright fruit character of melons and herbs. This wine is a favorite
with oysters.”
Bob Bertheau, Head Winemaker
