Jules Taylor Chardonnay 2023

Founded in 2001 by winemaker Jules Taylor, and co-owned with husband George, Jules Taylor Wines began as a modest venture, producing just 200 cases, but it has grown to be a celebrated winery, renowned for producing high-quality small batch wines that capture the essence of the region, and which are very clearly designed to be for everyday enjoyment.

Born in Marlborough in the year the first vines were planted, Jules has literally grown up with Sauvignon Blanc, and it’s no surprise that her Sauvignon Blanc is a true reflection of the region’s style – bright and grassy. But the rest of the range ( a Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Grüner Veltliner, Chardonnay and luscious summertime Rosé), are consistently fine boutique wines bursting with flavour.

From selected Marlborough sites, this Chardonnay was hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed to French oak barrels (20% new). Wild fermentation and full malolactic added richness, while 10 months on lees brought texture. Bottled with minimal handling to preserve its vibrant character.
