Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"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."

96/100 Mike Bennie, The Wine Front, October 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"Succulent, flowing, complex, intense. There’s so much going on here. As per many of the Neudorf wines, flint and minerality are king and this wine does that in spades, but integrated into juicy, green apple, green melon, green mango notes with lime, lemon and pink grapefruit acidity in tow. There’s a softness of creamy, nougat oak here too, but so beautifully integrated. It feels classy and does classy so well. Top flight."

5 Stars & 96/100 Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review, January 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"Closed, backward and reticent, this is one for the long haul. With a lot of air, it reluctantly gives up layers of green apple, yuzu, spice, stony minerality, oyster shell and cashew. Commanding presence in mid-weight volume, it alternates between starkness and purity, an interplay of light and shadow in bony hues. A wine of contemplative power but seriously long, it will reveal its class fully in time."

96/100 JamesSuckling.com (2023 Vintage)
"This deliciously creamy and elegant chardonnay has aromas of white peaches, lemons, flint, nutmeg, white sesame seeds and vanilla pastries. It’s full-bodied and concentrated, but very fresh and cool, with light salty and buttery undertones and a very long and persistent finish. Hard to resist. From organically grown grapes."

Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, September 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"A bouquet of complexity and instant appeal with texture, shape and form followed by scents of ripe citrus and tree fruits, some white peach and lemon. Layers of spices and fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet are encased in a silky texture that touches the palate first, enhanced with a fresh new acid line and layers of oak spices. Complex and new, lengthy, dry and well made. Best from 2025 through 2033+."
