With only 20 ha of vines on Te Muna Road in Martinborough, Julicher Estate has achieved remarkable recognition. The Pinot Noir wines are consistent gold medal and trophy winners, demonstrating the quality of the site and the dedication of owners Wim Julicher and Sue Darling, and winemaker Outi Jakovirta. The quality of the Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Rosé is also noteworthy. My review of the Chardonnay from the excellent 2009 Martinborough vintage follows. www.julicher.co.nz
