This Rhone-style white wine offers superb freshness and crisp acidity. The majority was stainless steel fermented to highlight flavors of blood orange and white flowers. Some wine from neutral barrel was blended in, providing some body and texture. Enjoy!

Flying M Farms provided the grapes for this expressive, complex, dry-style Gewürztraminer. Aromas of pink grapefruit, minerality, and ginger linger in the glass. The wine was fermented in our large format oak barrel and offers a luscious, velvety palate with hints of dried herb and coriander.

This Rhône-style white blend is always my favorite wine to make because the sky’s the limit. You can take four different grape varieties and make them 18 different ways – barrel, stainless, yeasts, no yeasts, whatever you’re feeling. It’s so much fun.

Making our first organic wine at Chateau Ste Michelle was an exciting and nerve-wracking experience for the whole winemaking team. It is a commitment that requires the attention of every single person in the winery to ensure the organic wine is kept wholly separate. All equipment must be specially cleaned before use and all safety nets to ensure wine quality are removed. It is a risky business where many things can go wrong, and we are all very proud of the result of all our efforts. Our organic wine was blissfully unaware of the stress and effort surrounding its upbringing and made its way calmly into the bottle with all its raw and unadorned beauty intact.

Of course, the first requirement is organic grapes. Our grape-growing partner faced the same challenges of isolating the grapes from all other farming operations, and the removal of safety nets to protect the grapes from disease and pests. We are very grateful to have such capable partners in our efforts to create a wine that highlights our values of sustaining the land, the wildlife around it, our community, and our wine region.

This Marsanne fruit got split this year into a tank and barrel ferment. It went to barrel without yeast – wild– and it delivered. It has a rich, viscous palate, while still retaining fruit. The barrel portion was then blended with a bit of the tank ferment which adds verse and a bright fruit backbone.

The fates aligned for the 2018 vintage and Indian Wells Vineyard Syrah. Growing conditions and fermentation went exactly as planned to create a wine that perfectly represents the rare combination of vibrancy, delicacy, and luscious fruitiness produced by only this vineyard and this vintage.
