Chard Farm
Chard Farm Judge and Jury Chardonnay 2023
Details
Chard Farm Vineyard is nestled in the scenic Gibbston Valley, Central Otago. Founded in 1987 by the Hay family, Chard Farm has become a prominent name in New Zealand's wine industry. Known for its breathtaking location along the rugged Kawarau Gorge, the vineyard boasts a diverse range of terroirs that contribute to the unique character of its wines. Chard Farm specializes in producing premium Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and other cool-climate varietals, with a commitment to sustainable viticulture and winemaking practices. The vineyard's picturesque setting and dedication to quality have made it a must-visit destination for wine enthusiasts.
Judge & Jury Chardonnay is a standout selection, crafted from grapes grown on The Tiger, Viper, and Masons Vineyards in the Cromwell Basin. The Viper Vineyard adds subtle lemon notes and satisfying weight, while the Mason Vineyard enhances the blend with rich fruitiness, texture, and depth, creating a beautifully rounded palate.
With low crop yields, brief skin contact before pressing, and fermentation in Acacia tree barrels rather than traditional oak, this wine emerges as an exceptional creation. It showcases purity, refreshing qualities, and a mineral-driven essence, highlighting the cool climate fruit with oak playing a subtle supporting role. Judge & Jury Chardonnay is in its prime and ready to be savoured now.
Rich aromas of ripe lemons, baked apples, white blossoms, and nutty herbal notes. The palate is lively with salty citrus and white fruits, complemented by a savoury background of nuts and dried herbs, all framed by detailed structure and length.
