On the nose - ocean sea spray, waxy native florals entwined with white peaches. These flavours are brought though to the palate along with notes of fennel and yuzu pith. The wine flirts with an exquisity balance of minerality and precision. There is a refreshing surge of acidity that is held together brilliantly with a framework of oak and fruit concentration - all riding the wave in sync.

A Chardonnay to be gently chilled, generously shared and enjoyed with anything that takes you back to the seaside in summer, maybe for a surf, a cast, or a wander. Drinking this wine suggests to them what it might be like to surf those waves off Raglan.

The inaugural Tiritiri Chardonnay comes from three sites within the Moutere Hill's, including the young vines of Neudorf's own Rosies Block.

This will be remembered as an extreme season, not only in terms of temperature and rainfull (lack of) but with events such as forest fires and water shortages. Strangely, fruit composition was excellent, not over ripe as one might expect, and as result we see wines that have a density but also a refinement.
