Neudorf Rosie's Block Amphora Chardonnay 2023 13.5% 750ml

TASTING NOTES

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).

FOOD MATCHING

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

VINIFICATION

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

MATURATION

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