“Rich, intense and complex wine with strong stone fruit, grapefruit, mineral, nutty lees and classy oak flavours. Powerful wine that once again leads the pack. 5 Stars, 97 Points.”  Bob Campbell MW.

In the winery John embraces slow, thoughtful winemaking  with minimal intervention. Both Tim and John  believe the site should speak rather than the winemaker. This sympathetic approach has produced a wine of great dignity.

Neudorf Moutere Chardonnay 08 is exciting.  A sinewy wine with lovely biscuity flavours flowing gracefully across the palate. Already the wine is showing integration and finely balanced oak. A thread of minerality holds the wine taut and restrained. A wine of outstanding poise, it offers the full complex of traditional Neudorf flavours and textures enveloping a trail of exceptionally intense bright mineral acidity. The oak handling is subtle and an example of John’s light touch. This wine is beautiful as a young wine but put some in your cellar to celebrate New Year 2012,2015 etc…
