The Kelley Fox Estate represents one of the hidden gems of the Willamette Valley wine region in the United States. Located in the green, hilly heart of Oregon, it is renowned for the production of subtle and delicate wines, such as Pinot Noir. Kelley Fox, owner and winemaker, is a passionate, conscientious and deeply committed woman. Before launching her own business in 2007, Kelley worked for a decade in the wine world. She quickly gained recognition for her ability to create wines that express the terroir in a very pure and nuanced way. The Kelley Fox Estate spans several vineyards, covering diverse soils and offering different expressions of Pinot Noir. Two vineyards are particularly notable: Maresh Vineyard, first planted in 1970 and one of the oldest in the Willamette Valley, and Momtazi Vineyard, certified biodynamic and located in the hills of McMinnville. The winemaking at the Kelley Fox Estate reflects the winemaker's meticulous approach. The clusters are handpicked, the grapes are fermented with indigenous yeasts, and the wine is aged in used oak, allowing the fruit to express itself in the purest way. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every factor, from the ripening of the grapes to the soil structure, meticulously examined. The wines produced from this estate are known for their elegance, complexity and authentic expression of the terroir.

Discover the grape variety: Pinot gris

Pinot Gris is a grey grape variety mutated from Pinot Noir. It has its origins in Burgundy, where it is called pinot-beurot in reference to the colour of the grey robes worn by the monks of the region. Established in Alsace since the 17th century, pinot gris was called tokay until 2007. It is made up of bunches of small berries that vary in colour from pink to blue-grey. It is particularly well suited to the continental climate because it is resistant to the cold in winter and to spring frosts. This variety also likes dry limestone soils with plenty of sunshine in the summer. Pinot Gris is well suited to late harvesting or to the selection of noble grapes, depending on the year and the concentration of sugars in the berries. Pinot Gris wines are distinguished by their aromatic complexity of white fruits, mushrooms, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, etc., and their great finesse. In the Loire Valley, pinot gris is used in the Coteaux-d'Ancenis appellations. It gives dry or sweet wines with pear and peach aromas.
