Vintage Notes:
This vintage was more reminiscent of a traditional Oregon vintage; the temperatures were cooler, helping us retain acidity and balance to the wine. In cooler vintages, you must be more thoughtful in our farming and your picking decisions. The reward for the attention is that you get more aromatics and flavors with elegant texture, often leading to a very compelling wine that will continue to reveal itself over time. – Kate Payne-Brown, winemaker
Vineyards:
Planted in 1995, Stoller Family Estate is home to the largest contiguous vineyard in the heart of the Dundee Hills AVA. Our property spans 400 acres of volcanic soils, with 225 acres dedicated to growing vines at elevations ranging from 220 to 640 feet. Reflecting our site in the wines we produce is the heart and soul of our brand.
Aging:
Meticulously crafted, our cuvée saw native fermentation, careful oak influence, intricate blending, and extended élevage to achieve one of the most exclusive and elevated offering from the vintage.
Winemaking:
Sourced the oldest plantings on our property, we strive for transparency to showcase our site’s uniqueness in our wines. This special place is what our wines are all about. Our 2019 ¡Salud! Cuvée is a micro-blend that reflects the place, the vintage, and the people that make up the year in the bottle.
Release Date:
