Kelley Fox Weber Pinot Gris 2018 (Skin Contact White Wine)

Kelley Fox Weber Pinot Gris. Biodynamic wine, skin contact, vibrant wild dark pink hue, stunningly fresh palate. The vines which produced this Pinot Gris were planted in 1987 on the east side of Weber Vineyard. Quote from the wine maker: “It is a beautiful clear pink color and has far more complexity in the nose (roses, strawberries, and some exotic notes) and mouth than ordinary white Pinot Gris/Pinot Grigio. It has more structure and power than the white, but drinks more like a rosé. It has a fine, silken texture and is delicious.”

Kelley Fox is highly attuned to the song of each vineyard. She would make “spirited” wine, of course, wherever she was farming. Her approach is subtle and responsive; for her grapes are matter waiting to release the energy of the vineyard, and the wines are the liquid containers of that energetic potential.
