The wine

This wine is what Neudorf Pinot is all about. Cocoa-powder tannins are interwoven with notes of summer berries, warm spices and seductive leather. A sophisticated restraint keeps this lush and moreish wine beautifully balanced, with thoughtful oak framing it into a long, velvet finish.

Tom's Block is one of the named Moutere parcels and the estate's more approachable Pinot Noir, though approachable is relative here. Nelson's clay soils give a savoury, structured style rather than a fruit-forward one, and the winemaking is restrained: whole bunches, measured oak, and time.

The producer

Neudorf

View all Neudorf wines

Tim and Judy Finn planted Neudorf in 1978, when Nelson had no wine industry to speak of, and they were among the pioneers who established that it could have one. Tim was a founding member of Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand. Their daughter Rosie now runs the estate with winemaker Todd Stevens.

The asset is the Moutere clay. Nelson sits at the top of the South Island, sunnier than most of New Zealand but cooled by the sea, and the Moutere hills are formed of ancient gravelly clay laid down by a long-vanished river system. Clay holds water through dry summers and restrains vigour, and vines rooted in it ripen slowly and evenly. The Home Block Chardonnay from those soils is widely held to be among the finest made in the country.

The range is tiered by site: Tiritiri for the wider Nelson wines, then the named Moutere blocks, Rosie's Block and Home Block and Tom's Block, each bottled separately. An amphora-fermented Chardonnay sits alongside them, which is an unusual thing to attempt at this level and works.
