Rosie's Block Amphora Chardonnay

Tasting profile (AI-generated)

Structure: medium-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, dry

Neudorf is one of Nelson's benchmark producers for Chardonnay, and this amphora-vessel bottling suggests a deliberately textural, oxidative approach — expect beeswax and lemon curd alongside a stony, saline minerality that reflects Nelson's clay-limestone soils. The absence of reductive winemaking and new oak lets the grape and site speak clearly, producing a wine with grip and presence rather than obvious fruit weight. It's a contemplative style, built for the table rather than the spotlight.
