Wine Details

A wine of stature, history and elegance.

A combination unchanged of mature vines, cool climate, ancient soils and elegant winemaking. Neudorf Home Block Moutere Chardonnay paints in intricate detail why this site has an international reputation.

Classically, notes of oyster shell, cashew nuts and gentle oak are gracefully intertwined and come to a crescendo of complex purity. Although powerful, Home Block Moutere Chardonnay imbodies restraint, poise and longevity.

Timeless.

This chardonnay is the sound of a Jaguar on the open road, the feeling slipping into a tailored jacket, the rush of a first date and the familiarity of laughing with good friends. It is in equal measure seductive, alluring, intelligent, modern and sophisticated.

Cellar with absolute confidence, drink with pleasure.
