This oak Chardonnay was made from the excellent fruit that was harvested and donated to the YVC students from Austin Sharp Vineyard, in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA.  Aromas of cinnamon bark, caramelized sugar, yellow peach, piña colada, and green apple skin help this wine achieve great heights, like our upcoming graduates.  The tropical fruit and oak combine elegantly with flavors of toasted coconut, almond and vanilla; all leading up to a sweet cream and buttery finish.

SILVER MEDAL WINNER:  2024 Cascadia Wine Competition

This stainless-steel fermented Chardonnay has the aromas of tree and citrus fruit.  Fresh flavors of green apple, melon and guava meet your palate and deliver a crisp and dry finish.  Cheese and meat charcuterie, or a shrimp or chicken dish would complement the flavors of the terroir.

Yakademic Blendis a tribute to the journey of higher learning where structure meets creativity, and tradition blends seamlessly with innovation. The wine brings together three distinct components, each contributing to a well-rounded, complex profile. Some oaked Sauvignon Blanc (70%) adds structure and depth, the Sémillon (20%) brings smooth richness for a balanced finish, and the unoaked Sauvignon Blanc (10%) offers a crisp vibrancy. With aromas of bright citrus, honeysuckle, and a touch of vanilla this wine will go well with grilled fish, creamy pasta, or roasted poultry.  Whether you're celebrating a milestone, unwinding after a long study session, or raising a glass with classmates, Yakademic Blend is the perfect companion for every step of your academic adventure.

The 46^th Parallel links Washington’s premier wine regions with the historic wine areas of Europe, which share a similar latitude. In class, students explore these Washington vineyards, learn what makes them unique, and then bring that knowledge to life in the teaching winery, following the rhythms of the vineyard and the science of fermentation. With notes of pear, melon, and honey, this wine reflects curiosity, experimentation, and hands-on discovery. 46th Parallel Marsanne is more than a wine, it is the flavor of students learning to transform knowledge into experience.  

For those who are night owls or deadline chasers waiting until the last minute to complete an assignment, this Riesling is for you.  With notes of green apple and honey, this crisp wine will help push you through the night. Whether dining at unconventional hours, right on schedule, or for those who enjoy a midnight snack, this wine pairs beautifully with spicy Thai dishes, creamy pastas, or a simple, elegant fish entrée.       

Need to take a pass on all the dry wines and look for something a little sweeter? Hall Pass Riesling is your perfect escape.  Floral aromas layered with ripe fruit and a gentle hint of honeysuckle, create a beautifully balanced expressive wine with approachable sweetness. This wine will pair effortlessly with a fresh bowl of fruit, or even a flaky fruit pastry, it is an ideal companion for special treats.       

Often professors' grade on a curve, in the teaching winery students learn on one. This Academic Curve Rosé is a product of student winemakers taking classroom knowledge and applying it directly in the cellar. With notes of apricot, grapefruit and raspberry preserves, this Rosé reflects the experience, curiosity, and improvement that defines the journey from classroom to cellar. Just like the academic curve measures growth and progress, this wine is proof that the learning curve in the winery is just as real.

This Rosé was learned, not generated. Counoise is a traditional Rhone variety that requires hands-on decision making to enhance aromas of grapefruit, strawberries, watermelon and honey. Living in a world that implements artificial intelligence to help create shortcuts to answers, this Rosé serves as a reminder of something irreplaceable: Human experiences. Artificial Intelligence Rosé was crafted by YVC students who chose to step up and learn the process, not outsource it.

This blend was inspired through a student’s hunger to experiment and learn. Every time a different variety, vessel, or blend was used it unleashed something different in the wine that provided a deeper understanding of the wine’s chemistry. It was exciting to see how a simple, intricate change could transform the final wine.  Enjoy the pleasing aromas of sweet apricots, peaches, and ripe fruits that’s balanced with the light body and medium acidity.

This wine was made with gratitude and appreciation for all those who donate and provide support to make our teaching winery possible.  Your dedication fuels our hands-on training and the future of Washington grape growing and winemaking.  Without you, we would be lost.  In the glass, this wine offers aromas of citrus, tropical fruits and orange blossom.  It would pair well with pork chops with a fruit-based sauce, or spicy Pad Thai.
