BOB’S BEST BUYS
Wine: Neudorf 2022 Tiritiri Chardonnay, Nelson $28
Why I chose it:
- Neudorf is one of the country’s top chardonnay producers
- It is less than one/third of the price of Neudorf’s top chardonnay
- “Special occasion” wine
What does it taste like?
- Appealing, accessible chardonnay with an initial hint of fruit and alcohol sweetness leading to nicely integrated acidity that helps drive a lengthy finish. A mix of subtle mineral and citrus flavours. Great value at this price.
Why it’s a bargain:
- It is one of those wines that I spot on the shelve and think they have made a mistake by underpricing it.
Where can you buy it?
- Moore Wilson’s, Wellington $26.95;
- Neudorf Vineyards, Upper Moutere $28.
- Wine retailers know that they don’t have to discount the wine to sell it. It has such a good reputation.
Food match?
- Freshly shucked Nelson Toi Point oysters garnished with a squeeze of lime. Most seafoods.
Will it keep?
- It offers great drinking now but will still be delicious in 4-5 years.
