Neudorf Moutere Chardonnay 2008, Nelson, New Zealand

This is a tremendous wine, full of all the best characters that you would expect to find in a fabulous Chardonnay. Lots of citrus and stonefruit characters on the nose mixed with beautifully balanced oak and yeasty aromas. The complexity of this wine was superb with just layer after layer of nuances backed up by body, richness and excellent balance. Neudorf is regarded as one of the best Chardonnays made in New Zealand, and on sampling this beauty, I can see why. This wine has had 6 years in the cellar, but I think it will easily go another 5 years without any problems.
