A decade ago, Tim & Jude named this block after me and I’m still chuffed to bits. The block is about 1km from the Home Block on a slightly higher elevation. This Chardonnay is a sibling to what is deemed the keystone in our portfolio - Neudorf Home Block Moutere Chardonnay.
A couple of years ago, a friend and somm described this wine as “the Gucci slippers” of our chardonnay portfolio. Luxurious, smooth, sassy. Recently someone else described this vintage as a dress of European cut, made with New Zealand material. Needless to say - Rosie’s Block Moutere Chardonnay is our fashion statement, and I love that.
Guava, gun flint and lime blossom are elegantly framed by restrained used of oak. There is wonderful weight to the palate - it is a voluptuous wine with marvellous shape and brilliant focus. Long, intricate, sophisticated and somewhat serious. However serious it may be - it is also alluring and flirtatious.
You could say Rosie’s Block is the “Little Black Dress” that every good cellar needs. Perfect for every occasion.
Enjoy with or without food, in the near or far, with friends or family.
