Kelley Fox Chardonnay Durant Vyd Dundee Hills 2024 (ETA - Mid-May 2026)

The 2024 is brilliantly transparent with the colour of light spun gold. The nose is a heady and rich creamy tropical fruit and mixed citrus without being overbearing. There’s an inviting freshness to it with soft minerals and subtle spices. I could drink this wine every day, and I don’t drink my own wines, typically. It’s mouthwatering with seamless structure. It is fine and balanced. The finish is long, with silk drape. This is a very small bottling from three barrels, but I plan to increase it to six barrels in 2026.

Winemaker Notes

Brilliantly transparent with a light spun-gold hue. Aromas of creamy tropical fruit and citrus unfold with freshness, soft minerality and subtle spice. Seamless and mouthwatering on the palate, with fine balance and a long, silky finish. A tiny production wine with remarkable elegance and purity. – Kelley Fox
