Trailstone
Chardonnay
In Washington’s warmest region, you’ll find a slope that’s home to some of the best wine in the state. The Wahluke Slope lies on a broad, south-facing slope. The result? A creamy white wine with a tropical, fruity feel. One swirl releases a sweet burst of pineapple, green mango, and papaya. Another reveals toasty notes of burnt sugar and vanilla combined with a rich, minerally texture. Fuller than other Chardonnays, this wine holds up well with punchier flavors. Invite your favorite friends over and enjoy an al fresco lunch with pork tenderloin and pan-fried leeks.

WINE REGION:
![Outline of Wahluke Slope](https://images.firstleaf.com/taxons/1821/normal/Washington.png?1616010824)
Wahluke Slope
The Wahluke Slope is a pinprick within the larger Columbia Valley, measuring just 15 miles wide. The appellation is situated on south-facing sloped highland on a bend of the Columbia River. Merlot dominates the planted vineyards here, with Cabernet Sauvignon close behind. Vines in the area experience high levels of stress during the growing season because of the dry soils, which result in small concentrated fruit with bountiful flavors.
