Washington's Aromatic Pioneer
Gewürztraminer is the grape Washington's Columbia Valley quietly excels at — warm days for ripeness, cold nights for the acidity that keeps its rose-and-spice perfume fresh rather than heavy. Chateau Ste. Michelle has made wine in the state since 1934 and treats this bottling gently: steel, cold, and no oak between the grape and the glass.
