Domaine Ste. Michelle Brut

Summary

Winemaker Paula Eakin crafts the wines in the traditional méthode champenoise style. Premium grapes are sourced from vineyards in Washington state’s Columbia Valley. “Eastern Washington’s dry, warm climate and cool night time temperatures produce balanced flavorful grapes with crisp acidity, which is critical for quality sparkling wine,” says Eakin. “Our growing conditions and northerly latitude produce sparkling wines with delicate aromatics and flavors.” Predominantly a blend of Chardonnay, the Brut features delicate flavors of green apple and citrus with vibrant acidity. The Brut Rosé is a medium-dry wine made of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, with soft impressions of ripe strawberries, apple and citrus. The Extra Dry is a slightly sweeter style with delicate aromas of orange and lemon zest revealing flavors of apples and pears.
