Personalised Neudorf Tiritiri Chardonnay 2023 13.5% 750ml

Tasting Notes

Aroma
Summer stone fruits are woven together with rockpool minerality.

Palate
Sophisticated lees work adds another layer to the texture of this wine. Tiritiri Chardonnay truly impresses with its delicate integration of oak. The use of barriques frame the wine gently, without demanding attention. There is beautiful shape to this wine, its voluminous without being overblown. What may be taken to be a rather lush palate on entry, tapers to a refreshing and modern finish.

Vinification
Whole bunch and machine harvested fruit. No minimal settling. Partial wild yeast, high solid fermentation. Barrel fermentation, 10% new. French Oak - medium toast.

Maturation
10 months on full lees with monthly battonage until start of malo.

Vintage notes
A dry start to the season followed by a wetter than normal November. A welcome change to early summer and autumn where we experienced drier and warmer months (December - April). Minor rain events ensured canopies stayed 'refreshed' before a trouble-free harvest period. A generous season producing wines of volume and precision.
