Kelley Fox Chardonnay, Willamette Valley, Oregon 2023
Kelley Fox is a Willamette local who has been involved in making local wine for over 20 years. Using her access to some of the best vineyards in the region, she gathers top-quality fruit and lets the grapes decide what they want to become each year.
This is a savory Chardonnay brimming with notes of chopped nuts and herbs, yellow apple, spices, and quince. It is beautifully lush and full-bodied even though it has never seen oak. Kelley really knows how to nail the picking date to achieve the ideal balance of ripe fruit and crisp acidity. The wine goes through initial fermentation and full malolactic conversion in stainless steel tanks, where it is then aged on fine lees for 6 months before bottling. This is an excellent value for any lover of clean and bright Chardonnay.
