Neudorf Rosie's Block Amphora Chardonnay 2023: A Bold and Balanced Chardonnay with an Innovative Twist

The Neudorf Rosie's Block Amphora Nelson Chardonnay 2023 is a striking expression of New Zealand's South Island, crafted with precision and innovation. Produced by Neudorf, one of New Zealand's most esteemed wineries, this Chardonnay is fermented in amphorae, an ancient clay vessel, enhancing its complexity and connection to the land. The result is a wine that exudes an intriguing balance of fruit concentration and rockpool minerality, delivering a dynamic experience for both Chardonnay lovers and skeptics alike.

100% Amphora Fermented:
This unique Chardonnay is fermented entirely in amphorae, a technique that brings out the fullest potential of the Moutere Clays where the vines are planted. This fermentation method ensures that the wine develops an exceptional mineral backbone and remarkable texture, transforming it into a beautiful balance of power and elegance.

Tension and Grace:
On the palate, this Chardonnay is defined by its tension—a delicate push and pull between flinty, mineral notes and rich, concentrated fruit. The result is a wine that moves gracefully, like a dancer with perfect poise. It possesses both the weight of a serious wine and the agility of a light, modern Chardonnay. Despite its striking tension, it never feels overly intense; instead, it is suave, confident, and free-flowing, making it a pleasure to drink.
