Sun, soil and skill: Rimu Grove chardonnay impresses judges

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of helping judge the Colin Harrison Memorial Trophy for Nelson's top chardonnay.

However, rather than selecting an outright winner as we have in previous years, we selected our top three wines and took those along to the recent Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce Aspire Conference and asked attendees to select the wine they liked the most.

Not every winery entered and the wines that did were from three different vintages (2014, 2015 and 2016). However, the three wines chosen by the judges were a great representation of the outstanding quality of chardonnay being produced in the Nelson region.

Attendees didn't need to be wine experts, just wine consumers, we wanted to find out which wine they thought tasted best.
