Neudorf Tiritiri Chardonnay 2024 by Neudorf Vineyards from Nelson bursts from the glass with a bright, coastal energy, delivering that modern New Zealand chardonnay style that feels both sophisticated and utterly drinkable. Neudorf Tiritiri Chardonnay 2024 is crafted from sustainably grown fruit across Moutere clay gravels and Waimea alluvials, giving precision, freshness and a lovely sense of place.

In the glass you’re looking at vibrant yellow stone fruits, citrus peel, crunchy red apple and a lick of pineapple, stitched together with oyster shell minerality, subtle hazelnut and quietly supportive oak. The palate is crisp yet weighty, satin in texture, dry and finely saline, with lees work adding creaminess while a spine of acidity keeps everything mouthwatering and moreish. It’s generous without ever feeling overblown, finishing long, refreshing and nicely modern.

On the table, this is a cracking match with butter-roasted chicken, pan–fried snapper, scallops in lemon–butter, or a creamy seafood pasta, where that mineral line and citrus lift will slice through richness beautifully. It will also sing alongside roast pork with crackling, grilled kingfish, or a simple plate of washed–rind cheese and crusty bread, making it a seriously versatile, great–value Nelson chardonnay you’ll keep coming back to.
