Winery Notes (2024 Vintage)
"A couple of years back, a friend and somm described this wine as "the Gucci slippers" of our chardonnay portfolio. Luxurious, smooth, sassy. Recently someone else described it as a dress of European cut, made with New Zealand material. Needless to say – Rosie's Block Moutere Chardonnay is our "little black dress". Always in style.
A chardonnay that affirms our confidence in the Moutere Clays. Manuka ash & matchstick flint tussle for your attention. Both laying an alluring pathway for this chardonnay to flow across the palate. The elegant use of lees is framed by restrained oak that celebrates the purity of fruit and harnesses a classically cool climate freshness. Long, intricate, sophisticated and seamless. A wine you can’t help but revisit again and again. Everything a modern chardonnay should exude."
Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, September 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"An immediate purity of fruit with scents of grapefruit then stone fruits, lemon and fine lees complexities present an wine of power and some intrigue. Delicious, fleshy and salivating on the palate with tension from acidity and textures from fine tannins. This foundation frames the core fruit flavours that are persistent adding length and style. There’s a gentle saline quality as well leaving the palate wanting more. Best drinking from early 2026 through 2031+."
