No wine displays more richness and complexity than Semillon grown in the distinctive soils of Eastern Washington.
Cool nights during the growing and harvest season give the wines crisp natural acidity and expressive aromatics, making them excellent food-friendly wines.
Fresh and richly textured, this expressive Semillon displays vibrant melon, peach, Granny Smith apple and fragrant honeysuckle, with prominent notes of ginger and Key lime.
On the palate it is supple and energetic, with plenty of pear and stone fruit flavours leading to a balanced, refreshing finish.
L'Ecole No. 41 means school at number 41 in French.
The label depicts a school of historical value from that time, and the name comes from the fact that the area was Frenchtown, where many French Canadians lived.
This school has been the winery since it was founded.
L'Ecole No. 41 is the third oldest winery in Walla Walla and is one of the most highly regarded and well-known handcrafted wineries in Washington State.
The winery has received numerous awards around the world, including being named one of Wine Enthusiast magazine's top 100 wineries in the world 15 times, and in 2014 Estate Ferguson won the World Bordeaux Blend Award.
Recently, owner Marty Crabb was named one of the Most Influential People in the Wine Industry for 2021/22.
The award recognizes Marty's leadership, innovation, inspiration and positive impact on American wine culture.
While L'Ecole has built long-standing, friendly relationships with the great historic vineyards of Washington State, it is also renowned for continually investing in Seven Hills Vineyard, the oldest in Walla Walla, and for continuing to improve the quality of its wines to international standards.
