Jackson Estate
The Jackson and Stichbury families have farmed the free draining soils of Marlborough's Wairau River plains for more than 160 years. The vines in our Homestead vineyard were planted in 1989 by Jackson Estate founders, John and Jo Stichbury.
Our aim is to make wines of elegance and finesse that show vineyard expression with minimal winemaking intervention. The fruit was harvested from the Homestead vineyard, whole bunch pressed then fermented in French oak barriques using indigenous yeasts before aging on lees for ten months prior to bottling.Jackson Estate embodies the very best of Marlborough New Zealand. Jackson Estate is a special place, testament to the vision and determination of the Stichbury & Jackson families who have farmed on the Wairau River plain at Jacksons Road for more than 160 years.
Since planting our first Chardonnay vineyards three decades ago, time, tide and fortune have smiled on Jackson Estate, and the unparalleled affinity between Marlborough and Chardonnay has been spectacularly realised.
The acclaim Jackson Estate Chardonnay generates is based entirely on the merit of our pristine, cool climate vineyards. This single vineyard wine is named for the belt of gum trees that encircle the Jackson Estate Homestead, providing shelter for the fruit trees and the BBQ.
We trust you enjoy this wine as much as we did making it.

Tasting Notes
Notes of clean and fresh citrus, fig and spiced marzipan create an enticing entry to this wine. Combined with the underlying complex notes of oyster shell and a beautiful minerality, this wine has bags of character on the nose
