JULES TAYLOR
MARLBOROUGH CHARDONNAY

An elegant Chardonnay with fresh, tropical fruit flavors that reflect the beauty of the vineyard
without the winemaker’s boots stomping all over it.

Food Match:

The complex flavors in this wine make it an adaptable option to pair with food. It’s perfect with dishes such a Pacific Kokoda recipe (similar to ceviche but with coconut cream) or barbecued crayfish tails with garlic butter. For a non-seafood option try it with duck pancakes topped with fresh spring onion. Or Vegetarians could try it with a mushroom risotto.

Winemaker’s Notes:

• • Color: Straw yellow

  • Nose: This wine is layered with fragrant aromas of red apple, nectarine and lemon peel alongside toasted almond, nougat, a touch of spice and vanilla.

  • Palate: On the palate, juicy apple and nectarine flavours are balanced by crisp citrus notes and refreshing acidity. Wild ferment and barrel aging has added complexity, nutty nuances and a weighty texture. The wine concludes in a dry, lingering, elegant finish.
