✨ Technical Specifications
The Two Vines designation pays homage to the classic vineyard trellis method that positions two vines on a single canopy to maximize sunlight exposure, a critical technique in the sun-drenched, rain-shadowed vineyards of Washington State. Columbia Crest's Two Vines Chardonnay is crafted to showcase the natural, vibrant fruit character of the Columbia Valley. Fermented in a combination of stainless steel and oak barrels, it undergoes partial malolactic fermentation to soften its acidity, resulting in a wine that beautifully balances crisp orchard fruit flavors with a subtle, creamy texture and a touch of toasted oak.
