Product Notes

Chateau Ste. Michelle Columbia Valley Riesling is a crisp, refreshing white wine that hails from Washington State. This wine is crafted from a blend of grapes, carefully selected from vineyards across the Columbia Valley to ensure the perfect balance of flavors. It opens with bright aromas of green apple, apricot, and white peach, followed by refreshing flavors of citrus fruits, pear, and honey. The wine has a lively acidity that gives it a clean, lingering finish. Chateau Ste. Michelle Columbia Valley Riesling pairs well with seafood, spicy Asian dishes, and rich, creamy cheeses. This wine is a great choice for those who enjoy light, fruity white wines.

Tasting Notes

Easy-drinking Riesling from Columbia Valley's oldest winery, with apple blossom on the nose, crisp apples in the mouth and a fine, steely minerality.

About the Winery

Chateau Ste. Michelle

Chateau Ste. Michelle is the oldest and largest winery in Washington. It has been producing classic European varietal wines since 1967.  


The award-winning wines crafted at Ste. Michelle are made from grapes sourced from vineyards of excellent terroir, located in Columbia Valley. Here, the Ste. Michelle Wine brand owns a massive lot of 3500 acres, where the purest and most authentic grapes are cultivated. The marine climate with the Cascade Mountains at the backdrop, limited rainfall and the process of vines being cultivated on their own rootstock help in preserving the natural taste of the grapes grown here.  Cold Creek, Horse Heaven and Canoe Ridge are the three vineyards of this region.

Cold Creek Vineyard – This vineyard was planted in 1972 and is considered as one of the most ancient in Washington. The climate here is very warm as the Columbia River doesn’t provide any cooling effect. This results in the unique flavour of the grapes that are grown here. The loamy sand of this vineyard makes it easy to grow varietals such as Chardonnay, Riesling, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.

Canoe Ridge Estate – The cobblestone-rich deep sandy loam soil of this estate, along with the warm temperature, covers 559 acres of excellent quality vines. This area is known for its strong wind patterns. Chardonnay, Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon are grown here.

Horse Heaven Vineyard – With the Horse Heaven Hills and the Columbia River forming the perfect backdrop, this is a beautiful vineyard with very little rainfall throughout the year. The silt-loam and sandy soil make it ideal for cultivating Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc.
