Kongsgaard The Judge Chardonnay 2013 is a premium Californian Chardonnay sourced from Coombsville fruit. The fruit derives from old Wente clones, planted in 1975, with yields typically limited to one ton per acre. This low yield contributes to the wine`s concentrated character. The 2013 vintage features aromas of tangerine oil, caramelised citrus and white peach, underpinned by a mineral quality reminiscent of volcanic soils. Kongsgaard, a respected figure in winemaking since 1975, produces a mere 8 to 15 barrels of this limited release.
