"There’s no mistaking the sense of place when first nosing this wine, scents of clay and stones then red fruits of plum and cherry. A soft layer of wood smoke with baking spice moments then a fruit spice layers in breadth and depth to a fresh vibrant bouquet. A dry wine with moderate weight touches the palate first then a flourish of red fruit flavours, rose and wood spices follow adding complexity and power. A slightly lighter weighted wine that has complexity and texture. Tannins have a fine grainy feel and acidity carries flavour and crispness throughout the palate. Well made, still very youthful, an excellent food wine choice with best drinking from mid to late 2025 through 2030+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Apr 2024
The joy of Pinot Noir is its consistent evolution. Working with newer clones has changed the shape of material at hand for winemaker Todd Stevens. As these additions to the Pinot vineyards settle down, we see a more fragrant, more supple wine in our glass. This wine is what Neudorf Pinot is all about. Cocoa powder tannins are interwoven with notes of summer berries, warm spices and seductive leather. Tom's natural 'Moutereness' offers a sophisticated restraint, keeping this lush and moreish wine beautifully balanced. Thoughtful use of oak frames this Pinot brilliantly without commanding the experience, leading into a long, velvet finish. This Pinot will cellar with grace and poise.
Moutere Clay Gravels. Dry farmed. Low cropping. Hand harvested. Wild ferment. Natural Spring malo. Barrel matured. Unfined. Vegan. Solar powered winery.
Food Pairing: This wine is generous without ever being overt which makes it the ultimate food wine. BBQ'd venison, wild mushroom risotto, a hunk of parmesan or a rare favourite - beef tallow brownies.
