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 fruit for this wine was harvested between September 10th and October 14th from vineyards around the Willamette Valley. Fermented in 66% stainless steel, 21% concrete egg, and 13% neutral oak barrels and then aged for four months in 87% stainless steel drums and 13% neutral oak barrels. 

WINE PROFILE
This wine is a blend of Müller-Thurgau, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc. Susan's Cuvée bursts with aromatic florals, lychee, and white peach on the nose. The palate has lovely notes of citrus zest and a tropical finish with crisp acidity.
