- Neudorf Brightwater Riesling 2010. “An elegant wine with a bright, zesty palate featuring soft, but concentrated fresh lime and floral flavours enlivened by racy acidity that provides an attractive line and linearity through the palate. The finish is sustained, with nuances of lime fruit, minerals and a steely dryness. 18/20"

- Neudorf Brightwater Riesling 2009. "Very bright indeed! Super racy and only just off dry. Great balance! Very crystalline. Well made"
- Jancis Robinson MW
- Neudorf Moutere Riesling 09. "Earthy, chalky musky notes over lemon peel and lime leaf aromas, Effortlessly invigoratingly sweet with a great line of acid running through the middle contributing to a superb balance and lingering through the long steely finish. 91 points"
- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.
- Neudorf Brightwater Riesling 08. "Crisp, tight with intense lemon lime and some slate, orange blossom and coriander seed. 90 points"
- Robert Parker\'s Wine Advocate
- Neudorf Moutere Riesling 2009. “This is intensely fresh and lemon-limey on the nose with an underlying kerosene nose, very reminiscent of good Mosel Riesling Kabinett, not least in its mouthwatering, featherweight, off-dry lime-like fruit, whose keroseney notes will develop further flavour with age. 91/100"
- Anthony Rose The Wine Gang UK
- Neudorf Moutere Riesling 2009 "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. This 2009 offering is exquisitely fine and restrained, displaying lime, green apple and chalky characters on the nose. The palate is concentrated and refined with lush sweetness (54 g/l) which is brilliantly counter balanced by the racy acidity leading to an extremely long delicate finish. The wine is tightly wound with great tension needing time to evolve but what great potential this wine has. At its best: 2012 to 2022. 5 Stars 94-96 points"

- Neudorf Brightwater Riesling 2008 "This is a lovely drinking Riesling displaying lime, floral and chalky characters on the nose. The palate is focused and pristine with fine texture and crisp acidity. The finish is fabulously long and linear. 4.5 stars"

- Neudorf Brightwater Riesl;ing 2008. “Really precise, quite complex Riesling with pure lemon and grapefruit freshness, good acidity, and some of that ethereal quality known as minerality. The high acid is nicely offset with just a hint of sweetness, and there's no heaviness here at all. This is a really beautiful expression of Riesling with precision and transparency. 91/100
- Jamie Goode’s Wine Anorak
- "Brightwater Riesling 2008 - Medium/dry Riesling with very pure and delicate mineral flavours. The wine has a lightness and accessibility that is very appealing. Fine, yet soft, acidity gives a drying finish. 4 stars"
