Chateau Ste. Michelle Rosé (75cl, 12.5%)

Chateau Ste. Michelle Rosé is a dry, Provençal-styled Syrah-based rosé from Columbia Valley, Washington, bottled at 12.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Chateau Ste. Michelle, Washington's founding winery established in 1967, owns 3,500 acres of estate vineyards across the Columbia Valley. This rosé draws on Syrah from select Columbia Valley vineyards, where warm days and cool desert nights preserve natural acidity, and is pressed gently with limited skin contact for a pale salmon hue. The nose shows strawberry, peach, watermelon rind and citrus blossom. The palate is crisp with wild strawberry, raspberry, citrus zest, melon and apricot. The finish is long and crisp with lemon peel and stone fruit.
