Neudorf Rosie's Block Amphora Chardonnay 2023
An atypical, energetic Chardonnay with beautiful tension between fruit concentration and rockpool minerality. This wine is fermented in 100% clay Amphora resulting in a weighty mouthfeel whilst retaining its beautiful fruit flavours. The “Little Black Dress” that every good cellar needs.
Hand-picked from Rosie’s Block, Upper Moutere, Nelson, on 17th, 26th and 30th March 2022. Whole bunch pressed, with 2-4 days settling before barrel fermentation (15% new oak) with wild yeasts. 10 months on full lees, with monthly lees stirring until the malolactic fermentation process completed. Followed by 2 months on fine lees in steel tank before bottling, unfined, and with a course filter.
