Kelley Fox "Nerthus" Willamette Valley Skin-Contact White 2022

Vinous - Antonio Galloni : 93 Points

(5/2023) The 2022 Nerthus from Kelley Fox is a blend of 34% Early Muscat, 34% Pinot Gris, 18% Riesling and 14% Pinot Blanc. Exotic and beautifully perfumed, with striking depth, Nerthus is brimming with character. Jasmine, kirsch, dried rose petals, passionfruit and spices soar out of the glass. It is so refreshing to taste a Rose with real depth and personality. Nerthus is not for everyone. The strong tropical profile will come as a shock to the unsuspecting taster, and yet everything speaks of total class. Superb. Drinking Window: 2023 - 2026.
