Chateau Ste. Michelle is perhaps best known as the leading North American Riesling producer. It has championed Riesling for more than 40 years, and was among the first to plant Riesling in Washington state. Ste. Michelle catapulted into the national spotlight when the 1972 Johannisberg Riesling won the now-famous Riesling blind tasting sponsored by the Los Angeles Times in 1974. Today, Chateau Ste. Michelle offers up to eight different Rieslings, each showcasing the versatility of Riesling and the regional styles within Washingtons Columbia Valley, which produces more Riesling than any other American wine region.

Harvest Select Riesling is made in a slightly sweeter style, but still shows the elements of classic, beautiful and crisp Washington Riesling character with rich flavors of ripe pears and peaches. The fresh fruit and decadent character is balanced with crisp acidity to keep the wine in harmony. This is a perfect patio sipping wine or would be a great match with Thai food.
