Tasting Notes

Maturation

10 months on gross lees, followed by 2 months on fine lees, in a stainless steel tank.

Palate

Amphora Chardonnay plays with exquisite tension. Tension between fruit concentration and rockpool minerality. Between an intriguing flint and weighty Tension in the balance of power and agility. Tension in its shape, both curvaceous and driven. However, this wine is in no way, tense. It is graceful, flowing, balletic, genteel, confident and free. Unshackled by traditional expectations of chardonnay - the result is a comtemporary, delicious wine for the chardonnay obsessed or equally the chardonnay averse (apprently that's possible).

Vinification

Low cropping, hand harvested. Wild ferment. Natural Spring malo. 100% amphora fermented. Unfined.

Food Matching

Much like the simple approach to winemaking, this wine should be served with simple fresh seafood and not much faff.

    Many will be familiar with the pedigree and deliciousness of Neudorf’s Moutere Home Block, but the pioneering Nelson producer makes other exciting Chardonnays, too. The lithe, saline Rosie’s Block Amphora is a great example; fermented in a clay amphora, it’s fragrant with stone fruit, lemongrass, grapefruit and subtle oatmeal. Textural and elegant with pleasing freshness and good length. Points: 94/100
