Neudorf is undoubtedly one of our favourite New Zealand wineries, and the fact that it maintains a relatively low profile seems to only add to its appeal. There's a lot to like about a winery that lets it wines do the talking, particularly when they are of the class of Neudorf's offerings.

We've been really impressed by recent vintages of the Neudorf Sauvignon Blanc and the newly released 2012 vintage is another striking and complex example of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.

"Bright, very pale straw-yellow colour, pale on edge. This has an elegant and stylishly proportioned nose with restrained aromas of gooseberries and stonefruits revealing mineral, white floral and citrus detail in the glass. Dry to taste, this is very fine-featured with intense flavours of gooseberries, stonefruits, citrus and limes. The fruit notes are nuanced and interwoven, forming a good core with presence, and have a deliciously subtle richness which is enhanced by bright, lively acidity. The palate has excellent tension and a refined mouthfeel that flows to a lingering, softly dry finish. This is a beautifully refined and detailed Sauvignon Blanc with a stylish array of flavours. Match with seafood and poultry over the next 2-3 years. 18.5-/20 Mar 2013" - Raymond Chan, www.raymondchanwinereviews.co.nz.

"I served this wine to a bunch of chardonnay lovers over takeaway Thai food and a unanimous “Yum!” erupted. With aromas of elderflower, citrus blossom and fresh fennel, followed by juicy lime, herbaceous hints and interesting texture and richness in the mouth and on the finish - it was a winner with pretty much everything on the table - it even lifted the spring rolls to new heights. Delicious! 5 Stars“ - Yvonne Lorkin, Dish Magazine.
