2022 Kelley Fox Nerthus Willamette Valley

50% skin contact Pinot Gris, 30% Early Muscat, 20% Riesling 

Organic, Native Yeast, Low SO2

Willamette Valley, Oregon

A beautiful and fragrant blend of skin contact Pinot Gris, Muscat, and Riesling. The skin contact gives the wine its rosé hue and adds savory textures of red apple skin, while the white grapes add floral notes of hibiscus, grass, and nectarine fruit with a pop of lively acidity.  Fun, fresh, and beach worthy!
