Kongsgaard Winery was established in the 1970s by John Kongsgaard and his wife, Maggy. John Kongsgaard is a prominent figure in the California wine industry and his wines are greatly coveted by collectors. The Judge is crafted from the original 2.4-hectare vineyard boasting vines that date back to the 1970s. This ancient and weathered vineyard always works its magic, yielding a wine that is truly one-of-a-kind, exhibiting a remarkable blend of subtlety and intensity. \"Honey, hazelnut, dried apricots, wild flowers and orange peel meld together in the glass in the 2009 Chardonnay The Judge, a wine that is just beginning to show the first signs of development. The 2009 is rich, exotic and oily on the palate, with fabulous depth and great overall balance. This is a wonderfully complete wine, a bit on the big side, but still impeccable in its balance.\" Vinous, 2013","brand":"Kongsgaard","offers":[{"title":"Duty Paid","offer_id":62429183246666,"sku":"HED98335","price":1050.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/7696\/2634\/files\/HED98335.jpg?v=1781917151"},{"product_id":"kongsgaard-the-judge-chardonnay-2014","title":"Kongsgaard The Judge Chardonnay 2014","description":"Fifth-generation Napa natives, Maggy and John Kongsgaard began their winemaking venture in the 1970s planting The Judge vineyard on the Kongsgaard family land near Napa.
