Kelley Fox, Gruner Veltliner, Willamette Valley, Oregon 2024

The 2024 Grüner Veltliner from Kelley Fox is a vibrant and joyful expression of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, sourced from Abbey Road Farm, Chehalem Mountain Vineyard, and Hotel Vineyard. To preserve its fresh character, the wine completed both primary and malolactic fermentation in tank and remained there until bottling on March 31, 2025.

Pale spun-gold in color with a hint of youthful green, it offers an oceanic, mineral-driven nose accented by white peach, lime, and a touch of ginger. Rich, full, and complex, the palate is supported by lively acidity and a refined texture, culminating in a classic white pepper finish and a serpentine, green energy that spirals through every sip. At 13% alcohol and with just 346 cases produced, this is a precise, energetic, and utterly captivating Grüner Veltliner.
