Sokol Blosser Bluebird Cuvee Brut Sparkling Wine 2021 -750ml

2021 was the 2nd warmest growing season we have ever seen since 2015. We also got to add a new term to the dictionary: "Heat Dome". Three straight days of triple digit temperatures in late June breaking heat records for the Willamette Valley! Bud break started like usual in the middle of April. We had the driest March through May that the Willamette Valley has seen through 128 years of record keeping! Bloom also appeared on time in early/mid June. While late June brought the “Heat Dome”, our grapes made it through thanks to bloom being finished at all our sites and there still being soil moisture, so they grew like crazy over those three days of hellish temperatures. While July and August turned out to be exceedingly hot and dry, September arrived with little rain which allowed the grapes to fully ripen. The hot and dry summer made for fruit that was extremely clean, resulting in excellent fermentation. All in all, mother nature gave us something to be grateful for on our 50th anniversary.
