Description

Fabulous bouquet, complex and textured with shape and form. Aromas and flavours of wild peaches, gun flint and grapefruit flesh. The combination of mineral stony soils and spices from barrel layer in texture and complexity accentuated by a classic Nelson acid line. Satin mooth with layers of contrast from fine tannins, acidity, core white fleshed fruits laced with citrus, and texture. Best drinking from later in 2023 through 2027+.

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Neudorf

Neudorf Vineyards is considered one of New Zealand’s treasured Chardonnay and Pinot Noir Producers. Planted by Tim and Judy Finn in 1978, the vineyard is based on gravelly soils of an ancient river system. The area’s gentle climate, combined with Neudorf’s non interventionist winemaking, produce wines of clarity and distinction. Winemaker Todd Stevens follows structure and texture over flavour and in the Moutere vineyard viticulturalist Stef Brockley follows an organic regime with intense hand work. 

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is without a doubt the most known and most widely planted white grape variety around the world. It is historically home in Burgundy where it produces a more refined, mineral and poised wines all up and down the Cote de Beaune and in Chablis. Throughout the new world it gained fame in both California and Australia where it is known to produce big, rich, buttery and tropical fruit-laden white wines.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Nelson

Located in the north-west of South Island, this warm enclave is hemmed in by Mount Arthur and the Southern Alps. Riesling has found its feet among the free-draining, stony silt soils while Gewürztraminer also shows potential.
