2023 LaShellé Rattlesnake Hills AVA Sauvignon Blanc, Yakima Valley, Washington

This expressive Sauvignon Blanc delivers crisp lemon, grapefruit, and green apple flavors with refreshing acidity and a clean finish that makes it beautifully food-friendly and wonderfully drinkable; crafted to be approachable rather than austere. LaShellé Wines is a Black- and woman-owned boutique winery in Woodinville, Washington, founded by Nicole Camp, who started experimenting with fruit fermentation in her backyard before pursuing formal study at the Northwest Wine Academy and a year-and-a-half internship at T2 Cellars to learn winemaking from start to finish. She and her family opened LaShellé on Juneteenth 2021 with a mission to expand representation in a traditionally white industry and create handcrafted wines that reflect passion, resilience, and community - often pouring alongside guests to share the story behind every bottle.
