Product Notes

The Chateau Ste. Michelle Eroica XLC Dry Riesling wine is delightfully elegant, yet complex in character. Born from the exquisite Columbia Valley of Washington State, USA, it brings a refreshing, crisp vibrancy that dances on the palate. Its distinctly clean citrus notes are complimented by a delicate minerality, culminating in a beautifully lingering finish. The nose exudes a tantalisingly fragrant bouquet with hints of lime peel and white blossom. This unique wine, crafted in collaboration with famed German winemaker Dr. Loosen, adds an innovative modern twist to traditional Riesling, making it a standout among its peers. A bonafide delight for any white wine enthusiast.
