Neudorf Nelson Chardonnay 2010
The Neudorf Nelson chardonnay shows incredible concentration and richness on the palate. This wine is in perfect balance, with all elements pushing and pulling at eachother in perfect time. Sweet stonefruits are balanced with fine lively acidity, richness on the palate is matched with trademark Neudorf minerality/flint. The oak is there supporting and carrying the fruit, not dominating it. This all leads to a long savoury and incredibly satisfying finish.
Drinking beautifully on release, this wine will continue to develop in the bottle to 2015+.
2010 Vintage
- "A stunning Chardonnay which should now be
considered one of New Zealand’s great Chardonnays in
its own right, not just a second wine of Neudorf’s
exceptional Moutere Chardonnay." - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
2011
- 18.5/20 5 Stars "A full, powerful and concentrated wine
on palate, the complex flavour profile of stoneftuits, nuts
and flintiness is balanced by subtle oaking. The wine
shows sweetness and succulence, enhanced by lively
acidity, which carries through to a sustained finish.
This must be the most complex and powerful Neudorf
Nelson Chardonnay to date." Raymond Chan Wine Reviews, July 2011
