The history of the oldest winery in the state of Washington dates back to 1912, when Seattle businessman Frederic Stimson bought 34ha of land in Woodinville, where he built a farm with a vineyard and hunting grounds. Stimson named his estate Hollywood Farm, later Stimson Lane Vineyards & Estate. In 1951, the first "Vitis Vinifera" berries were planted In 1976, a French-style wine estate was built and the winery was named Château Ste. Michelle, which in 2004 and 2005 was awarded the title of "Winery of the Year" in the United States. Medium intensity straw yellow in colour. The aroma is medium intensity and citrusy fruity. Smell ripe citrus fruits, yellow apples and bright stone fruits. In the background, some white flowers and pastry spices, the most noticeable of which are vanilla pods. The taste is dry, fuller than average and lively with fruit. Feel yellow ripe apples, slightly raw hazelnuts and bitter citrus with ripe light stone fruits. The medium length aftertaste is stimulated by fresh citrus fruits. The berries are picked in the early hours of the morning mainly from vineyards in the Yakima Valley and in the cooler climates of the Columbia Valley. Part of the wine is fermented at a temperature of 18Co in stainless steel barrels, part in large oak barrels (60%). 65% of the wine develops for 5 months in small French oak barrels, of which 10% are new barrels.
