Kelley Fox Wines' Nerthus is an astounding revelation in fine winemaking. This gem from Oregon, USA delivers an exceptional blend of Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris varietals, boasting a bewitching essence that teases the senses. Its fascinating layers of apple, pear and stone fruit flavours intertwine with hints of almond and floral notes, finished by a soft minerality hinting at its volcanic soil origin. This nuanced vintage displays expressive aromatics and an enchanting complexity, making it a versatile companion to a broad array of culinary dishes. Kelley Fox's Nerthus is undeniably a charming testament to organic, biodynamic viticulture.

Tasting Notes

The nose is full of fresh peach and apricot (stone-fruit) notes with floral and mineral notes. Though bone dry, there is mouth-watering peach and apricot fruit that is carried nicely by the racy acidity. Fresh, super clean and one of our favourites from the latest Oregon drops.
