Winemaker
Kelley Fox works in Oregon with a close interest in individual vineyards and the people tending them. Her approach favours careful farming and sensitive handling, leaving room for each site and season to speak.

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. A good bottle for duck, mushrooms or roast chicken, particularly when given a little time to open.

Origin
The Dundee Hills rise within Oregon's Willamette Valley. Red Jory soils, formed from ancient volcanic basalt, drain well beneath the vines. Sheltered slopes and a long growing season help Pinot Noir develop ripe flavour while retaining its fine structure and acidity.
