T2 Cellar · Asterales · NV (White Rhône Blend) · Columbia Valley

The Moment

This is the bottle you open when you want white wine with personality — floral, crisp, quietly complex, and way more interesting than “just a Sauvignon Blanc.”
It’s bright enough for a sunny afternoon, but layered enough for a real dinner table.

What It Feels Like

Aromatically, Asterales comes out expressive: earthy florals + beeswax, with a soft nod to brioche and orchard fruit.

On the palate it’s clean and vibrant — green apple, pear, pineapple, and Meyer lemon — with crisp acidity and a mineral edge that keeps it lifted.
Neutral oak barrel fermentation brings a rounded texture and “quiet complexity” without tasting oaky.

Why We Love This Bottle

Because it’s a Seattle-made white that drinks like something you’d discover in the Rhône — floral, balanced, and food-ready — but still feels totally effortless.
Also: Gold Medal + 92 points (SavorNW Wine Awards) is not casual.

Pair It With (From the Shop)

• Manzanilla Olives — brine + acidity = instant harmony

• Portuguese Cod — the wine’s citrus + minerality loves rich, olive-oil comfort

• Stuffed Grape Leaves — herbal + bright is the move

• Smoked Paprika Crackers — salty spice + crisp white = snack heaven

• Mixed Nuts — especially if you’re doing “one glass turns into two”
