Overview
Neudorf Rosie’s Block Amphora Chardonnay is a bold and beautiful departure from tradition — a contemporary expression born from the iconic Moutere Clays of Nelson. Fermented entirely in amphora, this Chardonnay embraces a natural, hands-off approach, resulting in a wine that is free-spirited yet refined. With its graceful tension between texture and minerality, power and precision, it offers a new narrative for Chardonnay lovers — and sceptics alike. Unfiltered, expressive, and captivatingly original, this is a bottle that challenges convention while celebrating purity.
Tasting Notes
Aromatically intriguing with whispers of flint, rock salt, and citrus blossom, Rosie’s Block Amphora Chardonnay evolves into deeper notes of white peach and roasted almond. On the palate, it glides between richness and restraint — creamy and weighty, yet cut through with a saline edge and a crystalline minerality. The mouthfeel is both curvaceous and driven, finishing long and clean with a lifted sense of vitality. Best enjoyed with fresh seafood and minimal fuss — a wine that speaks for itself with quiet confidence.
