"Without any doubt, the Neudorf ‘Moutere’ Pinot Noir is the leading example from the Nelson region and ranks alongside the best in the country, such as Ata Rangi, Fromm ‘Clayvin’, Pegasus Bay ‘Prima Donna’ and Felton Road ‘Block 5’."
Raymond Chan April 2011

Neudorf Nelson Chardonnay 2010. "The team at Neudorf seems to take this label to a new height each year. It's youthful, yet shows superb complexity and harmony, displaying fragrant aromas of stonefruit, pineapple, oatmeal and subtle vanillin oak. The palate is concentrated and expansive, while remaining tightly structured, leading to a gloriously long finish. This is fabulous drinking already, but will no doubt evolve gracefully. At its best: now to 2016. 94pts, 5 stars"
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit Sept 2011

"Neudorf has a superb reputation for some of Nelson and New Zealand's best Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs. The high quality of the other varietals and styles puts this small Upper Moutere producer into contention for the honour of being one of the best wineries of the country."
Raymond Chan Wine Reviews 2011

“One of New Zealand's top producers.The wines are superb”
Jamie Goode – The Wine Anorak- June 2011

“I cannot think of another New Zealand wine producer that has been making top wines across their entire range as consistently as Neudorf over three decades. Chardonnay is the star with Pinot Noir, Riesling, Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc very close behind."
Bob Campbell MW

“If you were to pick the best vineyard parcels from Côte de Beaune, Côte de Nuits, Alsace and middle Mosel, and put them all together, you'd end up with Neudorf's Upper Moutere vineyard. It is mind boggling to think that exceptional Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Riesling can be produced from one locality."
Sam Kim Wine Orbit.

“Tim and Judy Finn of Neudorf in New Zealand's Nelson region produce world-class wines which are remarkable for their quality and consistency. As confirmation, a 2000 Moutere Chardonnay showed at dinner one evening sat comfortably alongside a 1er cru Puligny Montrachet.”
Anthony Rose The Wine Gang UK

"Neudorf is one of New Zealand's top wineries......wines suffused with minerality and nervosite "
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Oz Clarke's Best Producers in New Zealand - Neudorf Vineyards for Chardonnay, Pinot Noir , Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc".
Oz Clarke 2010

Neudorf is a stunning, stunning winery and a beautiful place to visit. They have an obsession with quality and they produce superb Pinot, superb Riesling and this Nelson Chardonnay 08 is lean and refreshing and an absolute cracker."
John Hakwesby Radio NZ Monday Nov 30th, 2009.

When grapes are turned into wine by winemakers as talented as Tim Finn, the results can be spectacular. His Moutere Chardonnay would fool many into thinking it was a fine, white Burgundy (it is priced as one, deservedly).
Jancis Robinson MW (UK)

"There aren’t many winemakers of whom you can say that they never make a bad wine, but Judy and Tim Finn are in this small elite group."
Antony Rose,The Independent UK 2009.

Neudorf Sauvignon Blanc 2008 - “Highly aromatic with fresh tropical fruit notes, leading to a lively palate displaying grapefruit freshness as well as tropical fruit richness. Lovely presence and vibrancy."

Jamie’s Goode’s Top Sauvignon Picks, Decanter 2010.


"Neudorf is one of New Zealand's top boutique wineries...with Chardonnay - one of New Zealand's best, fine Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling and one of New Zealand's top Pinot Noir producers."

Hugh Johnson, The Wine Book

"Taste any of Neudorf Vineyard's wines and it is obvious why many consider Tim Finn to be among New Zealand's very best winemakers. Finn offers complexity and interest where others settle for less..."
Tim Atkin MW, Wine (UK)

"Tim Finn is more inspired than most, for his wines have the flair that is the mark of an artist... Neudorf Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc can justifiably claim to be one of the leading wines of that variety in NZ."

Keith Stewart
The Best of NZ

"Neudorf offers an education in terroir and some of the finest wines in the Southern Hemisphere. Their wines have an affinity for texture, density and balance - the result of brilliantly conceived grape growing".
Dr. Paul White
Australian Gourmet Traveler

"Neudorf is a model vineyard. The setting is idyllic and the Neudorf Chardonnay has long been one of New Zealand's greatest white wines."
Michael Cooper
Wine Atlas of New Zealand

"Do three things at Neudorf - taste every wine on offer, put your name on the mailing list and buy every bottle you can afford of what hits the spot - because Neudorf wines sell faster than iPods at half price."

Bob Cambpell MW,
Air NZ In-flight Magazine

"The greatest names in wine today include Giaconda, Cullen, Grosset and Henschke in Australia, and in New Zealand - Neudorf Vineyards, Ata Rangi and Kumeu River."

Tim Atkins, The Observer

Fine winemaking is about subtlety and proportion and Neudorf Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc can justifiably claim to be one of the leading five or six wines of that variety in New Zealand.
Peter Hellman, Wall Steet Journal

"A handful of New Zealand wineries are held in high regard internationally.... Te Mata, Dry River, Felton Road, Cloudy Bay, Neudorf Vineyards, Ata Rangi spring to mind along with Stonyridge, Kumeu River, Craggy Range and Villa Maria."
John Hawkesby
NZ Herald

"Neudorf Moutere Pinot Noir has cult status in NZ. It has depth, complexity and silkiness that makes you think of a top flight Volnay."
Wall Street Journal, USA.

"Neudorf is one of New Zealand's most picturesque and also one of our finest consistent producers of top quality wines. Tim and Judy Finn have a gentle holistic approach to everything they do and somehow it shows in their wines. They also manage to attract excellent people who share their vision."
John Hawkesby
