Neudorf Chardonnay Nelson 2009. 13.5% alcohol

N: Great varietal beginning, a wonderful complex prologue of gentle stone fruits, delicate nutty oak and a wonderful undertone and undercurrent of minerality.

P: A fabulous wine on the palate that delivers in every way, immediately complex with the most striking feature being the texture and inter- play between the acidity, oak and youthful fruity expression. The mineral and soil under currents continue, this wine is a keeper and will reward over the next 5 to 10 years. (5 stars).
