For over 30 years, Domaine Ste. Michelle has defined American sparkling wine with its distinctive Washington state style. Traditional varietal grapes such as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are selected to create sparkling wines the way they were meant to be created – in true, traditional méthode champenoise. Like France’s renowned Champagne district, the distinct terroir of our Columbia Valley vineyards slowly ripens grapes to an ideal balance of fruit character and crisp high acidity – perfect conditions to create our balanced sparkling wines.
