PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Eroica 2024 Riesling Columbia Valley by Chateau Ste. Michelle is one of the most reliable and compelling value-driven Rieslings in the U.S.—bright, aromatic, and beautifully balanced between fruit and acidity. Crafted in partnership with renowned German winemaker Ernst Loosen, it delivers vibrant stone fruit, citrus, and floral notes with precision and freshness. This is a modern classic Riesling—equally appealing to casual drinkers and serious wine enthusiasts.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Eroica is a long-standing collaboration between Chateau Ste. Michelle and Ernst Loosen, designed to bring Old World Riesling philosophy to Washington State terroir. The fruit is sourced from cool-climate vineyards across the Columbia Valley, where long growing seasons allow for slow ripening and excellent acid retention.
The 2024 vintage is crafted from 100% Riesling, fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel for approximately 10 months, preserving purity, freshness, and aromatic lift.
The style sits in the off-dry to medium-dry range, a hallmark of Eroica—balancing natural fruit sweetness with bright, mouthwatering acidity.
