In stock
Limited stock — get in quick! A lauded expression of Neudorf's wonderful Chardonnay style, this wine was formerly the standard 'Nelson' Chardonnay. With restrained fruit and an effortless chalky-mineral character, this is a delight in style and texture. It is food-friendly but delicious by itself, is approachable now but also worthy of age. The Rosie's block is subject to major demand internationally, so stocks cannot keep up with demand. Grab some while it's here!

Its Origins

Nelson is the sunniest viticultural region in New Zealand. Relatively isolated, it has never developed into large scale production but several wineries have established an excellent reputation for quality. Prime amongst these is Neudorf, created by pioneers Tim & Judy Finn back in the late 1970s. The winery buildings have developed steadily since 1980, and so has the reputation of this excellent producer specialising predominantly in chardonnay and pinot noir. Their flagship wines are designated by the subregion of Moutere.The Neudorf estate, lying on a mix of glacial outwash clay, now represents 12ha, though buys in fruit from a further 30ha (of managed vineyards). The viticulture is sustainable "lutte raisonnée" with organic practices being introduced since 2008. The wines are all made with minimal intervention; hand harvesting, wild yeast, low S02 and soft, supporting oak.

What The Critics Say

95/100 Bob Campbell MW

"Mellow, silken-textured chardonnay with lemon curd, grapefruit/citrus, lemon zest, wet river stone, lanolin and subtle spicy oak flavours. Multi-layered wine with an appealing texture and underlying power. Has cellaring potential but can certainly be appreciated in its youth 17 JUN 2023." Drink 2023 - 2032

94/100 The Wine Front, Mike Bennie

"This has a softness and easy appeal. Sweet citrus meets red apple joins nougat, ginger lemon honey tea and cashew. Lots of fragrance, good, juicy and slick texture with a pleasing, talc-like mineral finish and great extension of flavour. Sits softly in the palate, a richer, but not too rich feel to the wine, with generosity of everything a byword in this description. It feels super pleasing and full of character. Nice one." Drink 2023 - 2029

5 Stars Yvonne Lorkin

"I’m doing the jazz-hands of joy over the shiny new Rosie’s Block Moutere Chardonnay by Neudorf Vineyards. It’s sublimely structured, saturated with clean, peach & citrus tones, soft toasty, nutty notes and has soothing, creamy textures and an elegantly balanced finish. It will only become more delicious with another 4-5 years in the cellar if you’re disciplined enough, but it’s drinking beautifully now. Complete class."
