Another step in the evolution of Neudorf Pinot Noir.

Working with newer clones has changed the shape of material at hand for winemaker Todd Stevens. As these additions to the Pinot vineyards settle down, we see a more fragrant, more supple wine in our glass. The nose has hints of wild fruits and brambles. It is supported by elegantly restrained tannins, gently adding depth to the palate but never intruding. We feel this more feminine version is charming but not weak kneed.

As always Todd maintains that less and more and the wine has the “Neudorfness” we cherish.

Our Moutere Clays provide an European edge – the fruit is kept in check with an uplifting minerality and vibrancy. A wine which never tires or bores but rather offers a full juicy mouthful with a lingering complex finish. Just as the wine flows to the end of your palate there is a surge of flavour maintaining a satisfying mouthfeel.

Definitely drinkable but still precisely Pinot.

Proudly unfined and unfiltered.

"There’s such fresh and attractive ripe red cherry on offer here with plenty of spice and perfume, too. The palate has juicy cherry flavour at the core and the tannins are so nicely crafted. Fresh style with good intensity. Drink now. Screw cap.
