A refined, mineral-driven New Zealand Chardonnay with citrus precision, savoury depth and Neudorf poise.
Neudorf Tiritiri Chardonnay is a beautifully composed expression from Nelson, balancing purity, texture and restraint. Sitting alongside the estate’s iconic Moutere Chardonnay, Tiritiri offers a slightly more linear, mineral profile while retaining depth and quiet power. Thoughtfully crafted and finely detailed, it reflects Neudorf’s long standing commitment to site expression and longevity.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Lemon zest, white peach and nectarine with hints of almond meal, flint and subtle spice.
Palate: Medium-bodied and tightly framed, layering citrus and stone fruit with gentle creaminess and a saline mineral core.
Finish: Long, precise and quietly savoury with lingering freshness and chalky drive.
Serving Suggestions
Serve at 10–12°C. Time in the glass (or a brief decant) will reveal additional texture and complexity.
About the Winery / Region
Neudorf Vineyards is one of New Zealand’s most revered family owned estates, founded in 1978 by Tim and Judy Finn. Located in Nelson’s Upper Moutere, Neudorf is celebrated for meticulous vineyard work, low intervention winemaking and wines of clarity and longevity. The Tiritiri Chardonnay highlights a cooler, more mineral expression of the site, shaped by careful oak integration and extended lees contact.
Cellaring Potential
Drinking beautifully now, with the structure to evolve gracefully until 2035, developing added nutty and savoury complexity.
