Description
In its 39th vintage - Home Block Moutere Chardonnay has developed a certain “Neudorfness.”
Naturally this chardonnay has classic notes – white lilies, garden herbs and the now more familiar note of home baking. However, it’s the harmony and unity that define its greatness. While still young, Home Block Moutere Chardonnay 2020 already has an elegant mouthfeel which will continue to develop. This curvature is kept structured with a gentle backbone of acidity.
Restrained oak, suave fruit and classic Moutere minerality wrapped up to deliver a wine of excellence and nobility.
