Neudorf 2003 Moutere Chardonnay (Nelson)

Neudorf’s reign as one of NZ’s top Chardonnay producers continues with this effort from its Moutere plantings. Rich melon aromas are bolstered by subtle toasty notes that are more nutty than overtly oaky, then powerful citrus fruit shines on the richly textured palate. Turns nutty again on the extended finish. Drink now–2010. The 2004 will be imported by Epic Wines.  — J.C.  (5/1/2006)

Neudorf 2008 Moutere Chardonnay (Nelson)

  1. $48
Score Chasers: NZ & AU 2011
The 2008 Moutere continues the run of success Neudorf has been on, offering delectable hints of buttered toast alongside subtle peach notes and grilled nuts. It’s medium to full in body, but reined in by crisp acids, with a long, mouthwatering finish. Drink now–2015, perhaps longer.  — J.C.  (4/1/2011)

Neudorf 2010 Moutere Riesling (Nelson)

  1. $27
Neudorf seems to do almost everything well, and the winery’s efforts with Riesling off the Moutere clays are no exception. It’s made in a light- to medium-bodied style, off dry, with crisp notes of lime, green apple and wet stone that linger on the mouthwatering finish.  — J.C.  (4/1/2012)

Neudorf 2007 Moutere Pinot Noir (Nelson)

  • Cellar Selection
  • Online Exclusive
  1. $48
This wine’s beautifully complex aromas include hints of brown sugar, cinnamon, dried herbs and flowers, all swirling around a core of cherry fruit. It’s medium-bodied and supple in the mouth, yet it retains a sense of power and sinewy acids that should make it drink well for 5–8 years.  — J.C.  (6/1/2011)

Woollaston 2008 Pinot Noir (Nelson)

  1. $23
Score Chasers: NZ & AU 2011
A pleasant surprise from this relatively young producer. The aromas and flavors are welcoming and complex, ranging from dried spices and botanicals through plummy, savory fruit, while the tannins are supple and the texture rich. Lingering black cherries and spice mark the finish. Drink now–2015.  — J.C.  (4/1/2011)

Neudorf 2006 Chardonnay (Nelson)

  1. $32
Lovely scents of toasted hazelnuts, apple and lime set the stage for a top-flight Chardonnay. It’s medium- to full-bodied, round and broad in the mouth, then gains focus on the lime-driven finish. Delicious now, and should hold up well in the cellar for up to six years.  — J.C.  (12/1/2007)

Neudorf 2007 Sauvignon Blanc (Nelson)

  1. $25
Perfectly blends passion fruit with ripe peach and nectarine notes to yield a refreshing combination that folds in just enough herbal complexity. This medium-bodied SB’s appealing flavors linger on the mouthwatering finish. Drink now.  — J.C.  (9/1/2008)

Seifried 2004 Riesling (Nelson)

  • Best Buy
  1. $15
From the little-known region of Nelson, this Riesling bursts with petrol and lime scents. Quite full-bodied for a Riesling, with a touch of residual sugar and plenty of alcohol (12.5%), yet it retains a sense of grace and a finely developed minerality not often found in New World Riesling. Imported by Robert Whale Selections Inc.  — J.C.  (7/1/2005)
