Neudorf Rosie's Block Moutere Chardonnay 2022
New Zealand, Moutere Hills
Chardonnay
Description
This chardonnay is all about texture - it glides across your palate with an impressive core, beautiful shape and poise.
On the nose and seamlessly woven on to the palate there are notes of familiarity but the wine is so harmonious and intertwined. Oyster shell minerality, cucumber & green tea. Although the oak offers a framework here, there is a humble subtlety to it. The wine finishes with a crystalline & pristine length.
