Right off the bat, there’s bouquet of white pepper, lemongrass, brioche, grapefruit, caramelized pineapple and vanilla followed by sweet grass and white flowers. The mouth follows with almond butter, pineapple upside down cake, apple crisp and campfire smoke framing the dried fruit and honey. Wow, this vintage is complex and generously flavored – an outstanding Chaleur Blanc! The world has plenty of Chardonnay. We choose to honor the other legendary French tradition of white wine with our Chaleur Blanc. This is a classic white blend of Sauvignon Blanc (73%) and Semillon (27%) created in the tradition of the great white wine of Bordeaux and hand harvested from some of the oldest and most respected vineyards in Washington State. Chaleur Blanc begins with careful hand sorting at crush, followed by gentle whole-cluster pressing to release free-run juice. After chilling in stainless steel tanks to separate out the solids, we are able to achieve a clean and crisp profile. Lastly, the majority of our clarified juice is fermented sur lie in French oak barrels. Experience a wine of elegance with rich, deep layers of spice and fruit.

Lemon and the floral qualities of ripe dragonfruit mix with aromas of flint and pine needles. This 69%-31% blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon tastes of lime zest, toasted walnuts and Pink Lady apples, all backed by face-crunching acidity. Pair with fried goat cheese to be worshipped as a wine god in your own lifetime.

Delicate and floral, with elegantly rich accents of lemon, fig, honeysuckle and beeswax that flesh out on the finish. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
