Stoller Family Estates sits on a piece of Dundee Hills history, founded in the 1940s as a working farm. Growing a small family farm to a larger enterprise through 50 years, the Stoller Family passed on the land to Bill Stolller, who founded the vineyard in 1993.
Today, Stoller Wines owns the largest single contiguous vineyard in the Dundee Hills region of the Willamette Valley. With an eye towards sustainability, innovations include pest management, research, and modern techniques. Planted almost entirely to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Stoller is also experimenting with Tempranillo, Syrah, and other Alsatian varietals.
Stoller Family Estates Dundee Hills Chardonnay 2014 – this fresh and fun entry level Chardonnay was fermented entirely in stainless steel, resulting in a fruit forward, vibrant wine full of pineapple, tropical mango and peach, and bright citrus. $25
Stoller Family Estates 2013 Dundee Hills Pinot Noir – Bursting with rhubarb and rose petals on the nose, the palate reinforces this classic Oregon Pinot Noir with Bing cherry, hibiscus, cinnamon, leather and cola syrup, with a hint of bacon fat. This elegant but approachable wine is a great introduction to the region. $30
