Description
Sauvignon Blanc Grape Variety
This white wine grape originates in the Bordeaux region of France, where it is still predominantly grown today—followed in a close second by New Zealand, Chile, South Africa and Moldova. The barrel-aged version of this wine was made famous in the 1970s when Robert Mondavi renamed it Fumé Blanc in order to overcome Sauvignon Blanc’s lack of popularity in California. Flavors of gooseberry, green melon, grapefruit, white peach and passion fruit.
Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery
Founded in 1934, Chateau Ste. Michelle pioneered vinifera grape growing in Washington state and has been producing class European varietal wines under the Chateau Ste. Michelle label since 1967.
Columbia Valley
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.
