VINTAGE HIGHLIGHTS

After a cool spring, the first notable heat came to Oregon in mid-to late June when the berries were in the early stage of development, followed by a weeklong heat wave in July. Fruit came in as usual with slightly small berries from the July heat. August brought slightly warmer than average temperatures followed by September, which was a roller coaster for temperatures with record breaking heat early and late in the month, sandwiching a very cool period in between. October continued a run of very nice conditions to end the 2024 vintage. Generally mild to warm temperatures and not much precipitation until late in October made for a vintage with little to no pressure to pick until the fruit was showing its best flavors and acidity.

WINEMAKING
The grapes were harvested from our Dundee Hills Estate on September 19th, destemmed, and fermented and aged in stainless steel.

WINE PROFILE
Our 2024 Estate Müller-Thurgau has light floral and peach blossom on the nose. On the palate, rich ripe tropicals of pineapple roll into a delicate peach finish.

THE STORY
Our President Alex's grandpa was a larger than life character, and he has many fond memories of his Grandpa Gus. Gustave “Gus” Sokol helped our founders, Susan and Bill, to get Sokol Blosser Winery off the ground in the early days with a loan by being the guarantor with the bank. This bottling is for Grandpa Gus. He loved Müller-Thurgau and is the reason we were the first commercial producers of this varietal in the United States. Hopefully future generations of Sokols and Blossers will continue to produce the favorite wine of Grandpa Gus, as it has also become a favorite of many of our loyal customers.
