NEUDORF HOME BLOCK MOUTERE PINOT GRIS 2024

Matthew Jukes, UK
"Neudorf makes fabulous Pinot Gris" 

Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"This Pinot Gris is all about texture. The first sip is like biting into a just-ripe nashi pear, its crisp juiciness giving way to the delicate perfume of lily of the valley and the golden warmth of saffron.

A flicker of tangerine zest sparks brightness, while white pepper and cardamom weave in a gentle spice. Beneath it all, a chalky mineral thread hums through the wine, adding quiet tension to its generous texture. The neutral barrel contact brings weight and depth, making for a wine that feels both precise and effortless. Serve lightly chilled alongside spiced dishes, warm company, or the quiet hum of late afternoon."

94/100 Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review, August 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"This is a particularly good vintage of pinot gris from the original vineyard planted next to the winery. The organic-certified fruit underwent a raft of sensitive winemaking from partial skin fermentation (like an amber wine), partial malolactic conversion as well as wild yeast fermentation and ageing in a mixture of neutral oak and tank. All of this adds to the wine’s gorgeously layered complexity and texture.

Spicy, savoury and deep-pitched aromas of earthy mushroom, white pepper and kohlrabi accompany the subtle stone-fruit and quince lurking within. The palate is decadent, weighty and almost creamy in texture with a distinctly honeyed, off-dry richness throughout. Concentrated, ripe and wonderfully generous, it will bring pleasure across the mid-term as it continues to broaden and reveal more of its spicy, honeyed complexity."
