✨ Technical Specifications
Sourced primarily from high-elevation sites across the Ancient Lakes and broader Columbia Valley AVAs, where caliche-rich soils and fractured basalt yield pristine white grapes. Fermented completely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to retain natural aromatic intensity and vibrancy, the wine is bottled early without oak exposure to maintain crisp tension and focused purity.
🍾 About the Producer
Charles Smith Wines traces its origins to 1999 when former rock-band manager Charles Smith relocated to Walla Walla, Washington, releasing his debut vintage under K Vintners in 2001 before launching his namesake line in 2006. Sourcing fruit across Washington State's Columbia Valley and Walla Walla AVAs, the portfolio harnesses diverse geological foundations—from alluvial silt and gravel to fractured basalt—under an arid, high-diurnal continental climate. Smith champions minimal-intervention, accessible vinification designed for immediate enjoyment and food affinity, eschewing bâtonnage on whites and relying on cold stainless-steel fermentation to preserve razor-sharp varietal typicity and natural acidity. The benchmark white expression, Kung Fu Girl Riesling, delivers electric minerality, pure stone fruit, and residual sugar counterbalanced by vibrant tension. While the brand umbrella transitioned into the broader House of Smith portfolio, the wines maintain an unwavering dedication to regional expression, striking monochromatic aesthetics, and honest, unpretentious winemaking.
