90 Points Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

At Fox, we craft a collection of vegan, sustainably produced wines that celebrate the land and its people. Our spirit embodies sensitive farming, a gentle hand in winemaking and giving for good whilst every wine delivers delight. 

Giving for the good of the land and its people, every Fox purchase supports global re-forestation efforts. 

Chardonnay was the first wine ever made at Foxes Island in 1992, thus it’s a pleasure to introduce our ‘little one’; le petit. 

Employing sensitive farming and winemaking practices whilst, drawing on his French training, John Belsham has crafted a chardonnay in a youthful expression that is fine and textural with lovely harmony and tension between ripe fruit, soft, vanillin oak and chalk.   

Enjoy with vegetarian, mushroom, fish and white meat dishes or as an aperitif with a cheese platter. Ideal serving temperature 14℃. 

FOX is named after the explorer William Fox, who named a tributary island in Marlborough, Foxes Island and in the Southern Alps, a glacier named Fox Glacier. 

Sarah Featon, painted the native botanicals in the 19^th century that grace the label. Her extensive work was the first classification of native New Zealand flora. Sir George Grey Special Collections, Auckland Libraries.

“Conscious winemaking means every detail is delivered with the lightest footprint possible; being vegan, allows anyone who enjoys wine, to enjoy Fox.” – Kelly Brown
