2022 Judd Chardonnay
2022 Judd Chardonnay
Aromas of orange rind and spice intertwined with zesty lemon curd provide a wonderful entre to this wine. The palate is focused and silky with wet river stone flint adding to the saline mineral drive on the finish.

Other Notes
The 2022 season started with a very wet and variable spring before and during flowering, resulting in small bunches and reduced yields across most sites. However, the exceptional summer and autumn months that followed provided perfect ripening conditions that generated great concentration and striking flavours across all varieties.

Winemaker Notes
Handpicked and hand sorted then whole bunch pressed to small and large format oak. The juice then underwent a wild yeast fermentation and natural malolactic fermentation (91%).
After 10 months of oak maturation, the wine was bottled and filtered.
