2025 Estate Müller-Thurgau

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 week-long 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. - Winemaker Robin Howell

WINE PROFILE
The 2025 Estate Müller-Thurgau greets the nose with Honeycrisp apple and a whisper of lemongrass. The palate unfolds into delicate white peach and velvety lemon curd.

THE STORY
Our President Alex has many fond memories of his grandpa, Gustave “Gus” Sokol – a larger-than-life character who played a pivotal role in the winery’s early days. When Susan and Bill were first getting Sokol Blosser off the ground, Gus stepped in as guarantor on their bank loan. 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.
