Neudorf Home Block Moutere Chardonnay 2024

Description

Lemon, Oak, Spice

"A bouquet of complexity and instant appeal with texture, shape and form followed by scents of ripe citrus and tree fruits, some white peach and lemon. Layers of spices and fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet are encased in a silky texture that touches the palate first, enhanced with a fresh new acid line and layers of oak spices. Complex and new, lengthy, dry and well made. Best from 2025 through 2033+" Michael Cooper, Nov 2025

"A restrained and very young wine which currently shows cinnamon and spicy oak hiding reluctant notes of just-ripe stone-fruit, zesty citrus and crisp apple. No more than medium-bodied but very concentrated yet backward with evident, latent power tightly wound within the coils of grainy, stony phenolics and intense, saline acidity. The finish is very long, amplified by the chewy texture and stony intensity. Undeniable quality and fine-tuned finesse here with a long life ahead. Great wine which will develop slowly in bottle into a grand, elegantly complex chardonnay if cellared carefully" Stephen Wong, Master of Wine, The Real Review, Oct 2025

"Another exceptional offering from the team at Neudorf with a bouquet of intrigue and complexity, scents of site and vintage are woven into the aromas of stone fruits and citrus, barrel spices and deep core minerality. The effect of lees and a gentle flinty quality enhance the ideas of mineral and shout out complexity and charm. A dry wine with textures from fruit and some wood tannins, lees and mineral then back to fruit. An outstanding example of the variety and what both Neudorf and Nelson can do. Best drinking as soon as you are ready and through 2035" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Sep 2025

Classic, yet exquisitely modern. Still, yet alive with anticipation - the pause before the beat drops, the breath before a conversation kick: thrilling, confident, eternal.

From mature vines anchored in Moutere clays, this Chardonnay moves in seamless waves - silky, harmonious and complete. Nori, white peach, cashew and pink pepper sit delicately alongside a subtle creaminess.

Each layer of this complex Chardonnay is subtly sculpted - from Stef’s meticulous work in the vineyard to Todd’s gentle handling in the winery. The result is Chardonnay in perfect balance: effortless, sophisticated, and self-assured. Patience will be rewarded in the cellar, yet it is already expressing clarity, harmony and gentle strength. A wine of timeless allure.

Food Pairing: The nuances in this Chardonnay benefit from decanting. Celebrate those subtleties alongside unadulterated seafood - fresh oysters, garlic-buttered scampi, or barbecued cray tails.
