Pinot Noir from four Oregon vineyards, brought together in neutral Burgundy barrels.
Winemaker
Kelley Fox works with individual vineyard blocks in Oregon, building long relationships with their growers. Maresh and Durant are among the sites that have shaped her wines.
The vineyards sit within farms that also contain fruit trees, woodland and uncultivated ground. Mirabai combines several sites, with ageing in neutral Burgundy barrels to preserve Pinot Noir's fragrance without adding a strong oak flavour.
Wine
Mirabai 2023 includes Pinot Noir from Weber, Stater, Durant and Maresh, aged in neutral Burgundy barrels.
Strawberry and cherry with subtle spice, carried on a silky, juicy palate. The wine has depth while keeping a fresh, transparent character.
Origin
The Dundee Hills rise within Oregon's Willamette Valley. Red Jory soils, formed from ancient volcanic basalt, drain well beneath the vines.
