Neudorf Moutere Pinot Noir 2019

All Mendoza clone from vines 20-40 years old and barrel-fermented using indigenous yeasts, the 2017 Chardonnay Moutere continues this wine's successful run. Toasted grain and roasted cashew notes mark the nose, but they're backed by ample pineapple and melon fruit. Medium to full-bodied, this offers great intensity of flavor, richness and length. Just lovely stuff, and still one of the Kiwi classics.

This has very rich and deeply complex style from the outset with earthy and brambly nuances, revealing a core of cherries and blueberries. There are very concentrated, ripe cherry and red-plum flavors on offer, as well as a vivid web of very noble, polished tannin that carries smooth, focused and long. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
