Neudorf Nelson New Zealand Tiritiri Chardonnay 2023 - 12 Bottles

Product Description

Winery Background
Neudorf Vineyards, nestled in Nelson’s Upper Moutere, is celebrated as one of New Zealand’s benchmark producers of Chardonnay. Guided by minimal intervention and sustainable practices, the winery focuses on crafting elegant, terroir-driven wines that reflect purity and place.

Vineyards and Vintage Conditions
The 2023 vintage in Nelson offered long, even ripening conditions with cool nights and warm days—ideal for developing Chardonnay with intensity, balance, and freshness. The Tiritiri vineyard’s clay-rich soils provided concentration and structure while preserving acidity.

Winemaking Process
Hand-harvested fruit was gently pressed and fermented with wild yeasts, with portions aged in French oak to add complexity. Lees stirring enhanced texture, while careful handling retained brightness and clarity. The result is a Chardonnay of precision, energy, and finesse.

Tasting Notes
Pale gold in colour. Aromas of citrus blossom, white peach, and nectarine are layered with hints of cashew and flinty minerality. The palate is vibrant and finely structured, showing stone fruit, lemon zest, and subtle oak spice, finishing long and elegant.

Food Pairing
A versatile match for seared scallops, roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes, or soft-rind cheeses.
