Tim and Judy Finn planted their first vines at Neudorf in the late seventies, a time of rejuvenation and renaissance in the New Zealand wine industry.
The vineyard is dry-farmed organically on north facing Moutere gravels, and their ethos of minimal intervention extends into the winery.
Winemaker Todd Stevens continues the focus on wines with textural interest and finesse. Neudorf is regarded as one of the country's top small wineries with an enviable reputation for Chardonnay.
Beeswax, white pepper and fresh, forest-like minerality, reminiscent of New Zealand’s alpine lakes in the Spring. Notes of sage leaves and lily of the valley complete the profile. Although glacial and crystalline, the mouthfeel is alluring. The amphora brings a powerful weight and presence. All this beauty, crescendos with a surge of acidity that flowing across the palate with classic Neudorf grace. An atypical, energetic and captivating chardonnay.
