Chateau Ste Michelle Harvest Select Riesling greets the palate with a vibrant sweetness and a lively, refreshing feel, making it an ideal choice for relaxed gatherings or festive occasions. With an ABV of 10.5%, this wine is crafted in Washington State’s Columbia Valley, where cool nights and warm days help preserve its natural acidity and fruit-forward character. The winery’s careful production methods highlight the expressive nature of Riesling grapes grown in this unique American terroir.
In the glass, you’ll find flavors of ripe peach, juicy apricot, and hints of honey balanced by crisp citrus undertones. This harmonious blend of sweetness and acidity makes it a perfect partner for spicy Asian dishes, as its fruitiness soothes heat while enhancing bold flavors. It also pairs beautifully with soft cheeses like brie or camembert, complementing their creamy textures with bright notes that linger pleasantly on the finish.
Producer Information: Chateau Ste. Michelle
Chateau Ste. Michelle is based in Woodinville, Washington, and stands as one of the oldest and most influential wineries in the Pacific Northwest. Established in 1967, the winery emerged from the merger of two historic Washington wine companies: National Wine Company and Pomerelle Wine Company. Chateau Ste. Michelle’s production approach centers on combining traditional Old World winemaking techniques with innovative practices suited to Washington’s unique terroir. The estate sources grapes primarily from its own vineyards in Columbia Valley, focusing on sustainable viticulture to ensure quality and consistency across vintages.
Beyond their flagship Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon wines, Chateau Ste. Michelle offers a diverse portfolio that includes varietals such as Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Gris. The winery collaborates with esteemed partners for special releases like Eroica Riesling with Dr. Loosen and Col Solare with Tuscany’s Marchesi Antinori family. While primarily focused on wine production rather than spirits or beer, Chateau Ste. Michelle has contributed significantly to elevating Washington State’s reputation for premium wines through both single-varietal bottlings and complex blends that highlight regional characteristics.

Riesling is a versatile white grape variety known for producing wines that range from sweet to dry, characterized by their high acidity and vibrant fruitiness. This aromatic wine often features flavors of green apple, peach, and apricot, complemented by floral notes of jasmine and hints of honey. Aged Rieslings may also exhibit a distinctive petrol aroma, adding complexity to the tasting experience.
Originating primarily from regions such as Germany’s Mosel and Rheingau, as well as Alsace in France and parts of Australia like Clare Valley, Riesling can be crafted using various vinification techniques. Stainless steel fermentation preserves its freshness while oak aging can enhance its richness. Food pairings for Riesling are diverse; it complements spicy Asian dishes, seafood like shellfish, pork dishes, and fruit-based desserts beautifully. For optimal enjoyment, serve chilled at 45-50°F (7-10°C) in a standard white wine glass.
