Cellar Door Hours:

Monday to Sunday: 11:00 am to 5:00 pm

Judge Rock Wines crafts award-winning, elegant, and sensuous Pinot Noir wines from the Jacobson-Chiaroni family boutique vineyard. Located in Alexandra, our wines are celebrated for their intimate style and premium quality. Visit our cellar door, open 7 days a week, from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm, or meet us every Saturday at the Otago Farmers Market in Dunedin.

Award-Winning Pinot Noir

At Judge Rock Wines, our wines embody romance and elegance, offering a feminine balance that stands apart from traditional power-driven styles. From our vineyard, we produce premium Pinot Noir and St Laurent wines, recognised with multiple gold awards from renowned competitions, including Decanter, the International Wine and Spirit Challenge, and the Air New Zealand Wine Awards.

Small but Mighty

Our boutique vineyard, lovingly tended by the Jacobson-Chiaroni family, is known as the "Higgs Boson of world Pinot Noir"—small yet impactful. Despite our size, we have achieved international acclaim, with highlights such as the 2014 Pinot Noir winning the Pinot Noir Trophy and Best Red Wine Trophy at the 2016 Australia & New Zealand Boutique Wine Show.

Our cellar door in Alexandra is open year-round for tastings, offering an intimate journey through our award-winning wines. Alternatively, find us every Saturday at the Otago Farmers Market in Dunedin’s historic railway station.
