"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."
95/100 Mike Bennie, The Wine Front, October 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"Clicks and clacks with flinty mineral notes and more creamy, fleshy things. It’s a treat, it drinks beautifully, succulent and refreshing with green apple, ginger, lime, smoky spice elements and exceptional length. The persistence is something, actually. The balance sublime. The wine a treat in all its facets and a sense of fanciness comes about very quickly. And it is tightly wound to boot, showing the finesse of grape and winemaking. Quality here."
