WINE DESCRIPTION

Sokol Blosser Estate Chardonnay is a white wine produced by Sokol Blosser, a winery located in the Dundee Hills appellation of Oregon. The wine is made from grapes grown in the estate's organically farmed vineyards. The winemaking process involves a cool fermentation in a mix of older oak barrels and concrete eggs before maturation in French oak barrels, resulting in a textural wine with notes of ripe peach, vanilla, and toast. The wine is known for its balanced acidity, making it a perfect pairing for a variety of dishes or enjoyed on its own.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Sokol Blosser Estate Chardonnay has a bright, crisp nose with aromas of ripe pear, apple, and honey.On the palate, this wine is dry, with a creamy texture, and flavors of ripe white peach, balanced by lively acidity. The finish is long and lingering, with a slight touch of chalk and vanilla. This is an excellent Chardonnay, perfect for pairing with seafood and poultry dishes, or to be enjoyed on its own for its creamy texture.

ORIGINS

Winery: Sokol Blosser

Region: Oregon

Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, located between Washington to the north and California to the south. It is known for its diverse landscape of forests, mountains, rivers, and high desert, and for its vibrant wine industry. Oregon's wine industry dates back to the mid-1800s, when the first vineyards were planted in the Willamette Valley. The region was largely forgotten until the 1960s, when a group of pioneering winemakers began to experiment with Pinot Noir and other cool-climate varieties. Since then, Oregon has become one of the most important wine regions in the United States, with over 500 wineries and more than 1,000 vineyards.
