Chateau Ste. Michelle Columbia Valley Chardonnay is a fresh, soft-style white wine crafted from 100% Chardonnay grapes sourced from vineyards throughout Washington's Columbia Valley. The wine showcases juicy citrus and apple fruit character with subtle spice and oak nuances, creating a complex yet approachable, food-friendly profile.

The winemaking process involves 50% of the wine being sur lie aged for 5 months in a mix of neutral oak and 5% new oak, while the remaining 50% is fermented in stainless steel. This balanced approach yields a wine with 13.5% alcohol, 0.50g/100mL titratable acidity, and a pH of 3.5. The result is an elegant Chardonnay that pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes, from seafood to poultry to creamy pasta dishes.
