Neudorf Sauvigon Blanc is a unique take on New Zealand's most planted variety. Winemaker Todd Stevens pursues complex aromatics while remaining true to varietal characteristics. Textural interest is a major component. 100% wild ferment along with 20% barrel fermentation moderates the high tone natural acidity.
On the nose a bouquet of bright blossom is underpinned by fresh summer fruits. The feel across the palate is poised, succulent, bracing and sophisticated. This Sauvignon exudes restraint. It is refreshing and textural, alluring and moreish.
Tiritiri is a new brand for Neudorf. Tiritiri is Te Reo meaning to cultivate or grow. Tirtiri sits under the Estate label, is made from grower grapes and is not necessarily made from organic grapes or grapes grown on the Waimea Plains. It's worth noting that the previous vintage of this wine was grown on the Waimea Plains and had the same recommended retail price. Nonetheless, the revised branding does draw a rather clearer line in the sand. A serious rather than showy sauvignon (always looking for alliteration opportunities) with concentrated melon, apple and citrus flavours that dominate an array of more subtle notes (try ginger and roasted nut). A good food wine. 17 JAN 2020

An enticing, mineral, floral then varietal bouquet with aromas of silica and clay soil, rosé, peach and sweet lemon. There's a soft herb layer adding finesse and complexity. Youthful, crisp, refreshing and dry palate, with a gentle saline note and flavours of lemon, peach and barley sugar before more soft sage-like herbs return. Drinking Window 2021 – 2025
