Vibrant red cherries on the nose, there's attractive freshness here, some bracken and brown baking spices. Oak is bright but the fruit is on top. The palate is supple and full with really smoothly fleshy texture that holds fine, suspended tannins. Plenty of dark spiced cherry flavour, a flurry of toasty oak and a vibrant, lively kick of dark cherry flavour through the finish.
Neudorf Moutere Pinot has a long and celebrated record of excellence. 2014 vintage shows an ethereal beauty which lifts its head above the crowd. Elegant. Understated. Precise. Flow and purpose are evident without becoming overt.
The wine shows juicy acidity, so often the forgotten hallmark of the great Pinot Noir. Succulent with some lovely savoury notes with a touch of licorice and dried florals. The oak is simply part of the wine and offers gentle support without interfering with the final push of the fruit across the palate.
Definitely earthier nose that all the Marlborough wines I have been tasting. Very Juicy yet lots of grainy tannins and depth. Serious Wine.’
