NEUDORF TIRITIRI PINOT GRIS 2024

Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"A flirtatious, refreshing, gimme more Pinot Gris. A collision of white pepper, daffodils and summer fruits, with just a peck on the cheek of acidity. This Gris is all about mouthfeel – it’s got depth, viscosity and richness, while staying deliciously clean and deceptively moreish. A classic, ticks-all-your-boxes Gris, with a touch of savoury, steely notes in the background – textbook Neudorf aromatic.

Drink gently chilled with something spicy, be it fish, tofu or chicken – this wine is a go to for ‘hard to match’ dishes. So if you have lime, coriander and chilli on the bench to cook with, you need this in the fridge and a glass in your hand."

Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, April 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"An enticing bouquet of pear skin and fresh red apple, and Asian pear (nashi). There’s a natural white spice, almost pepper-like scent and a distinctive mineral quality. Satin smooth texture on the palate, juicy fleshy, ripe and delicious. Medium+ (ish) weighted and lengthy on the finish. The texture and mouthfeel are part of the enticement on the palate a super fine fruit tannins mouthfeel adding to the satin touch. Delicious and ready to drink."

Number 4, WineFolio.co.nz Top 10 Pinot Gris Tasting, April 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"A darker golden colour in the glass, with fresh aromas of green pear, lemon curd, lychee, apple pie, honey and a lift of orange blossom florals. Very clean and zesty, but also possesses a viscose texture that gives a creamy mouthfeel. Against that satin is a little pepper, spice and savoury notes – adding up to an intriguing expression."

5 Stars Yvonne Lorkin, August 2023 (2023 Vintage)
"The Finn family has harnessed Nelson’s famously long sunshine hours to create a fully solar-powered winery, heavily geared around organic winegrowing and sustainable production and using only electric forklifts and vineyard vehicles. AND the wines are packaged in new, lightweight glass bottles to reduce their carbon footprint. Their new pinot gris is generously dry, cleansing and intensely flavoursome. Creamy pear and baked apple collide with fresh acidity, mineral complexity, and palate richness from a wild ferment and partial malo. It’s epic with spiced pumpkin and pomegranate tagine."
