Overview

Chardonnay

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

96/100 James Suckling

“This deliciously creamy and elegant chardonnay has aromas of white peaches, lemons, flint, nutmeg, white sesame seeds and vanilla pastries. It’s full-bodied and concentrated, but very fresh and cool, with light salty and buttery undertones and a very long and persistent finish. Hard to resist. From organically grown grapes. Sustainable. Drink now or hold. Screw cap."

96/100 The Real Review, Stephen Wong MW

"Closed, backward and reticent, this is one for the long haul. With a lot of air, it reluctantly gives up layers of green apple, yuzu, spice, stony minerality, oyster shell and cashew. Commanding presence in mid-weight volume, it alternates between starkness and purity, an interplay of light and shadow in bony hues. A wine of contemplative power but seriously long, it will reveal its class fully in time 11 Oct 2024." Drink 2026 - 2039

96/100 The Wine Front, Mike Bennie

"Top of the tree stuff from Neudorf. These wines are very good. That’s a thing. Succulent, flowing, complex, intense. There’s so much going on here. As per many of the Neudorf wines, flint and minerality are king and this wine does that in spades, but integrated into juicy, green apple, green melon, green mango notes with lime, lemon and pink grapefruit acidity in tow. There’s a softness of creamy, nougat oak here too, but so beautifully integrated. It feels classy and does classy so well. Top flight." Drink 2024 - 2035
