2024 Pinot Blanc David's Block

Pinot Blanc is a varietal commonly found in cool growing regions of Europe and was amongst the very first vines the Lauer family planted upon taking over Bryn Mawr. Though its challenging nature in the vineyard makes it a rare find in the Willamette Valley, our estate’s unique conditions—slow ripening with strong winds— quickly proved ideal. Our expectations were tremendously exceeded, and what manifested from those initial 13 rows quickly became our most popular and sought-after white wine, a vibrant and complex expression of this often overlooked varietal. In capitalizing on this success, we have extended the original rows and added adjacent plantings, even grafting over Pinot Noir to Pinot Blanc in 2021. This section is affectionately named “David’s Block” after our youngest son, reflecting the wine’s playful and dynamic character.
