Kelley Fox Wines, Chardonnay Durant Vineyard Lark Block, 2021
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Durant Vineyard is one of the Dundee Hills’ historic sites, and the Lark Block—a special section planted on volcanic Jory soils—offers Chardonnay with brightness, texture, and an unmistakable sense of place. Kelley Fox, one of Oregon’s most thoughtful and instinctive winemakers, treats this fruit with minimal intervention: native fermentation, old barrels, no heavy oak or flashy tricks.
The 2021 vintage is all about balance—fresh citrus, green apple, and white flowers meet subtle leesy depth and a long, stony finish. There’s tension and quiet energy here, but also approachability. It’s not trying to be Meursault or Chablis—it’s pure Dundee Hills, filtered through Kelley’s ultra-transparent lens.
This is a Chardonnay for those who love wines with delicacy, life, and vineyard voice. Chill it slightly, give it room to breathe, and let it unfold slowly in the glass.
