2017 Fox Run Blanc de Blancs
About Fox Run Vineyards:
In their own words: Long before the hundreds of travelers, wine-tasters, and oenophiles graced the tables and tasting bars of Fox Run, it was cows that explored the property. For more than a century, Fox Run was a dairy farm. The first grapes were planted in 1984, and in 1990 the Civil War-era dairy barn was converted to a winemaking facility by Larry and Adele Wildrick, the founders of Fox Run Vineyards. In 1994, Scott Osborn and his first business partner, Andy Hale, purchased the winery from the Wildricks. Now with 50 acres of east-facing vineyards on glacial soils, the winery produces a remarkable range of limited-production, estate wines.
Today, Fox Run crafts some excellent wines in a wide array of styles. From casual and refreshing Riesling and Chardonnay (even in a can!) to more elegant and complex single-vineyard expressions, it’s legitimately hard to choose our favs. Not to mention they are one of the few wineries to make delicious dessert-style fortified ports. Long respected for their approach to and support of the Finger Lakes region, it’s a treat for us to invite you to discover Fox Run Vineyards.
