WINE DESCRIPTION

Kelley Fox Lark Block Durant Vineyard Chardonnay is a premium wine produced by Kelley Fox, a renowned winemaker known for her exceptional wines. The grapes for this wine are sourced from the Durant Vineyard, located in the heart of the Willamette Valley appellation in Oregon. The vineyard features well-drained soils and a cool climate, which allows the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The winemaking process involves minimal intervention, with the wine being fermented and aged in used French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a beautifully fresh Chardonnay with a crisp texture and notes of citrus, apple, and vanilla bean pods. It is a perfect representation of the unique terroir of the Willamette Valley and a must-try for any wine enthusiast.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Kelley Fox Lark Block Durant Vineyard Chardonnay is a stunning white wine with a nose of ripe orchard fruits, honeycomb, and a hint of toasted oak.On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and fresh, with a ripe fruit core and a lingering finish. Notes of fresh citrus and toasted nutmeg linger on the finish. This is a great Chardonnay with enough complexity to satisfy any palate.

ORIGINS

Winery: Kelley Fox

Region: Oregon

Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, located between Washington to the north and California to the south. It is known for its diverse landscape of forests, mountains, rivers, and high desert, and for its vibrant wine industry. Oregon's wine industry dates back to the mid-1800s, when the first vineyards were planted in the Willamette Valley. The region was largely forgotten until the 1960s, when a group of pioneering winemakers began to experiment with Pinot Noir and other cool-climate varieties. Since then, Oregon has become one of the most important wine regions in the United States, with over 500 wineries and more than 1,000 vineyards.
