Evergreen Family Wines, one of Washington state’s largest family-owned wine growers and producers, today announced the release of its acclaimed Alki Chardonnay into more than 1,600 Kroger-owned stores nationwide, including Fred Meyer, Ralphs and Kroger locations across 24 states including Washington, California, Texas, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio.

The expansion marks a significant milestone for Alki, Evergreen Family Wines’ ultra-premium, sustainably crafted wine brand inspired by the Washington state spirit of purity, optimism and possibility.

Named for the Chinook word meaning “hope for the future,” Alki embodies the purity of Washington winegrowing and a commitment to conscious, sustainable farming practices. Sourced from the renowned Ancient Lakes AVA, Alki Chardonnay is crafted to showcase the vineyard’s distinctive terroir, allowing the fruit to speak for itself while delivering exceptional quality and immediate drinkability.

Retailing for approximately $16.99 per bottle, Alki Chardonnay offers consumers a rich, polished expression of Washington wine, layered with vibrant citrus fruit, lemon zest, baked apple and pear flavors balanced by freshness and complexity.

“Washington state is producing some of the most exciting white wines in the world, and we believe consumers are increasingly seeking wines that overdeliver on quality, authenticity and value,” said Brandon Rice, CEO of Evergreen Family Wines. “We are poised to be the definitive leader in world-renowned, aromatic, refreshing white wines that are exactly what everyone should be drinking right now. Expanding Alki into over 1,600 Kroger stores allows more consumers than ever to discover the quality and character that Washington wine has to offer.”

Evergreen Family Wines crafts honest, family-owned better for you wines with no added sugar or concentrates. The broader distribution of Alki Chardonnay reflects growing national demand for premium Washington wines and reinforces Evergreen Family Wines’ commitment to elevating the region’s reputation among everyday wine drinkers seeking authenticity, quality and value. Follow @EvergreenFamilyWines on Facebook and Instagram for the latest updates and wine releases.
