The Judge & Jury Chardonnay is grown on The Tiger, Viper and Mason Vineyards in the Lowburn and Parkburn regions of the Cromwell basin.
A steep slope overlooking the Tiger vineyard in Lowburn produces the same aromatically spicy/floral profiles that we find in the Pinot Noir grown there, as well as similar persistence and very long-lived flavours. The Viper Vineyard in Parkburn grows intensely lemony and weighty Chardonnay, the palate length showing the rich mineral acid and saline notes typical of this vineyard. While the Mason Vineyard provides good fruit weight, texture, and depth of flavour to round out the palate.

Description
Winemakers comments
A fragrant bouquet of floral citrus blossom and chamomile mingles with crisp green apple, lemon, and a delicate hint of spice. The palate is broad with lovely texture, layered apple and savory nut flavours. A pithy lemon freshness drives the finish bringing appealing energy, poise, and balance. The lingering mineral notes add purity and extended length.
