Meet Melissa Burr, STOLLER’S Founding Winemaker
After more than 20 years at the helm of the Stoller Wine Group production team, Melissa Burr assumed the role of founding winemaker. The move fulfills her desire to continue supporting the family of brands by championing the Stoller Wine Group with key consumers and members of the trade while helping to maintain house styles for Stoller’s wineries and brands. Additionally, Melissa will continue to develop and craft the History brand and wines.
An Oregon native, Melissa graduated from Portland State University with a Bachelor of Science degree, intending to practice naturopathic medicine before discovering her true passion in wine. She studied winemaking and fermentation science at Oregon State University and interned during harvest for several local wineries before becoming production winemaker for Cooper Mountain. In 2003, Melissa joined Stoller Family Estate as the winery’s first dedicated winemaker. During her tenure, she worked in concert with the vineyard team to oversee the site’s continued refinement and grew production from 1,000 cases to 150,000 while acting as a steward of the Stoller Wine Group legacy.
In 2013, Melissa partnered with Bill Stoller to launch History, a brand dedicated to paying homage to historic vineyards in the Pacific Northwest. This collection evolves with every vintage as she tells the stories of these esteemed vineyards and the people who started them.
