Neudorf Homeblock Moutere Chardonnay 2023

Nelson's finest Chardonnay

Neudorf's finest Chardonnay. Bob Campbell MW named this wine his number one Chardonnay of the year. It has an exquisite balance of fruitiness and restraint.

This powerful yet elegant wine pairs perfectly with seafood garnished with citrus fruits, such as grilled scallops or white fish carpaccio.

About the Neudorf Vineyards Winery

Neudorf Vineyards is a family-run winery located in the Upper Moutere region of Nelson.

Established in 1978, the winery was founded by Tim and Judy Finn, who planted grape vines in the Nelson region before it had developed as a wine-producing region. They considered Upper Moutere a special place, built a house, and cultivated the land. They named the winery "Neudorf," which means "new village" in German , and launched it.

The grapes are cultivated in as natural a state as possible, and no unnecessary substances are added during the winemaking process. From an early stage, we have adopted sustainable farming methods and are making wine that is considerate of the natural environment.

In addition to their own vineyards, they also use grapes from two contracted vineyards. By using grapes from neighboring vineyards with different geological conditions, they are able to make wine that takes advantage of the unique characteristics and diversity of the land.

What really brought Neudorf to global fame was the World's Best Wine Tasting, held in the UK in 1993. He won first place in the Chardonnay category of this competition, and his name became known all over the world.

In recent years, the reputation of Pinot Noir has also grown, and the winery was selected as "New Zealand's Best Producer" in the UK's Tom Stevenson Report in 2009. Furthermore, Bob Campbell MW praised the 2014 Mouterie Chardonnay, calling it "the best white Burgundy," and awarded it the highest score of 100 points for the first time.

Currently, the Finns are the owners, and the business is run by craftsmen who have inherited their vision.

About Nelson

Nelson is located in the northern part of the South Island and is affectionately known as "Sunny Nelson" due to the extremely long hours of sunshine it enjoys throughout the year.

This relatively small wine-producing region is mostly made up of small wineries known as boutique wineries.

Taking advantage of the abundant sunshine, aromatic white wines such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, and Pinot Gris are mainly produced. Pinot Noir, with its robust fruit flavor, is popular among red wines. Nelson is also famous for its hops and fruit production.
