Wine Tasting Notes
Domaine Ste. Michelle Cuvee Brut NV Sparkling Wine
"Sparkling wine is a wonderful yet often overlooked accompaniment to food. Bright acidity and effervescence cleanses the palate, while the delicate flavors complement a wide array of dishes. Brut pairs very well with Japanese cuisine, my favorite is with sashimi. Sip with bagels and lox for a relaxing weekend brunch."- Rick Casqueiro, Winemaker
VINEYARDS
Premium grape varieties grown in Washington state’s acclaimed Columbia Valley. Vineyards in northern latitude, key to the regional character of our fruit. Like France’s renowned northerly Champagne district, our grapes ripen slowly and are ideally balanced with fruit character and crisp acidity. Plenty of sunshine, little rainfall and a good temperature mix produce grapes with superior flavor and natural fruit acids.
WINEMAKING
Each press cut undergoes primary fermentation that lasts roughly 2 to 3 weeks. The individual lots are kept separate until blending decisions have been made. Winemaker Rick Casqueiro samples approximately 110 lots of base wines and eventually selects 5 cuvées, based on aroma and acidity to create the assemblage. Méthode champenoise: the assemblage is then bottled with a small amount of liqueur de tirage which triggers secondary fermentation. The sparkling wine is aged sur lie for up to 18 months. A sweet liquid dosage is added to the bottle balancing the delicate, natural high fruit acids and viscosity, giving Brut its unique style.
