A fan favorite in our winery’s retail shop, this wine makes a refreshing aperitif. The Chateau Ste. Michelle Muscat Canelli is always very aromatic and floral with inviting aromas of ripe pear and ginger spice. Its sweet and fruity flavors are balanced by its light, refreshing and elegant quality. The Muscat’s crisp style makes it a great pairing with Asian foods. Current Vintage Fact Sheet, Acclaim, and Past Vintages
The Vineyards
2006 was a year of extremes in weather.
A cooler than normal, wet spring was followed by a very long, hot summer.
The weather was nearly ideal during the growing season. Summer fell into a consistent pattern of dry weather, warm days and cool nights.
Harvest began early, with some white grapes being picked in late August.
A cool spell in mid-September slowed things down and allowed more hang time for enhanced flavor development.
