Chateau Sainte Michelle EROICA Riesling Columbia Valley Washington State
Description: Chateau Ste. Michelle is Washington state's oldest and most acclaimed winery it is located in historic grounds near Seattle. Here the winery combines Old World winemaking tradition with New World innovation. In a new twist Chateau Ste. Michelle has teamed up with Mosel's renowned Dr Ernst Loosen to produce a stylish Riesling. Dr. Loosen owns some of the most renowned sites on the Mosel in Wehlen, Urzig and Erden and is acclaimed as one of Germany's most consistent quality producers across a range of styles, from dry to sweet. The Eroica collaboration begins in the vineyard with Ernst Loosen and Chateau Ste. Michelle winemaker Bob Bertheau jointly deciding on site selection, irrigation management, crop levels and canopy management. Yields were adjusted and fruit exposure was managed to prolong the ripening season for added flavour development of these cooler climate vineyards. The Vineyards in Eastern Washington's Yakima Valley provided the backbone for the Eroica blend. Howerver, 24% of the Riesling grapes came from the Horse Heaven Vineyard in the Columbia Valley. To protect flavour intensity, the grapes were harvested at night when the vineyard temperatures were coldest. The berries went direct to press, avoiding the possible loss of freshness caused by a crusher/destemmer. Next cool fermentation created a seamless integration of fruit, sugar and acid. Finally, fruit-driven yeasts with slower fermentation rates, such as the aromatic RHST, were employed to slow down the fermentations and heighten the fruit flavours. Ernst Loosen and Bob Bertheau considered dozens of small lots, each reflecting a slight difference in character depending on where the grapes were grown, resulting in the complexity the final blend. Eroica reflects not only its variety and site, but also its heritage: bold and forward from its Washington roots, elegant and sinewy from German inspiration. Named after Beethoven's Third Symphony, Eroica is truly a concert of Old World and New World Riesling. Eroica delivers a unique combination of tangerine aromas characteristic of Washington state Riesling, melded with the mineral and slate notes and lively, crisp acidity associated with German Riesling. This 100% Riesling continues toward the Germanic wine style with added complexity and refinement.. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £82.50
