About The Wine
The Juliard Chardonnay is a brilliant newcomer to the Beechworth wine scene.
Chardonnay loves Beechworth and it seems the drinking public really loves Beechworth Chardonnay. Coming from a storied winemaking family, you can see some of the Sorrenberg DNA in the Juliard Chardonnay. It has beautiful aromas of citrus, almond and struck match, with a bit of toasty oak underneath. It has a salty, minerally character and almost unctuous quality which really enhances its enjoyment.
Overall there is tremendous balance and poise, and it's a wine that can easily be enjoyed now, or even lay it down for a few more years and reap the rewards of some more bottle age.
About Juliard
Fans of Beechworth's Sorrenberg winery may be familiar with the Morey's winemaking son Bernard who, with wife Julia, now runs their own vineyard and label. The wines are a bit of a nod to the stellar Sorrenberg name, although Bernard and Julia are keen to do things differently and forge their own path, combining their first names to come up with Juliard...
While Julia takes care of the marketing and hospitality side of things, Bernard looks after the viticulture and winemaking, and their passion is plain to see. They currently offer a small number of wines – Chardonnay, Rosé and Shiraz – which are already gaining many followers.

Handpicked and wild fermented in French oak, with 12 months of maturation.
With hints of struck match, lemon zest and nougat filling the glass. The palate is textural and well balanced.
This wine is definitely one to enjoy now or cellar for up to 10 years.

Critic Reviews
"Not to be trading off the oldies names, but this is the second generation of Moreys from Sorrenberg – Bernard and Julia. Julia + Bernard = Juliard. Chardonnay a gimme with a Morey last name, right? Beautiful wine, graceful and quietly powerful, concentrated but lifted on chewy, flinty acidity met with subtle, oatmeal and cashew nut detail. It slips along and then finds pucker and chalkiness, a saline minerality in tow. It’s a stellar chardonnay, unashamed of its origins and proudly flavoursome yet vividly fresh. Get in on the ground floor, quick, I reckon…" - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you.
