Neudorf
Moutere Chardonnay
Moutere, Nelson, South Island, New Zealand
Very pale lemon in colour. See previous Delectable note of 178 weeks ago. Intense grapefruit notes on nose and palate - honeyed notes. Still good tension but with that strange oxidative note I couldn’t put my finger on as per last tasting.

Mar 20th, 2022Have always been a big fan of New Zealand Chardonnays. This Neudorf has a very funky toasty nose with lees stirring in evidence. Owned by Judy and Tim Finn, nothing to do with NZ rock band , Crowded House. On the palate some vanillan oak and Buttery notes. Medium intensity and medium acid. A very well made Chardonnay with complexity at this young age. Bob Campbell a Master of Wine from NZ gave this 99 points.

Nov 24th, 2019In the World Rugby theme this is the New Zealand Entry - a well made Chardonnay from Nelson. Pale lemon in colour. Grapefruit aromas. Funky solids on the palate with white peach. Shows how well NZ Winemakers handle the varietal. Shows profound intensity - the palate medium + bodied. One of the 1001 wines. Had another bottle 160 weeks later on 6th November 2021. I preferred it 3 years ago marginally for the fresher citrus flavours. Will probably have the next one sooner. Had that “milky” note I can never put my finger on.

Oct 14th, 2018Beautiful chard with incredibly lingering finish. Citrus and vegetal flavors with noticeable oak but not overdone

Thick, leesy, clotted cream nose when opened; repaid a brief decant to reveal lemon curd, lime pith and quince, with buttery notes. Ripe and bold, it shows good fruit, complexity & length. A satisfying glassful but for me too rich to be moreish.

this is what I like in #kiwi #Chardonnay. heaps of flint, blushes of apple and lashes of toasty nuts tethered to a palate that is alive with acidity & spice.

В аромате нефть, язычки дыма, франжипани, белая смородина, груша, алоэ, жженая карамель, жаренный миндаль. Во вкусе желтое яблоко, манго, айва, цедра грейпфрута, руккола, соленое сливочное масло, минеральность. Полнотело, с хорошим весом; мощно и новосветски, с ещё чуть заметным дубом, при этом не чрезмерно, в меру кислотно, хорошо сбалансированно, вызывающе соблазнительно. В отличной форме, требует бургундского бокала и времени для раскрытия.
