2021 Neudorf Rosie’s Block Moutere Riesling Dry from Nelson is a beautifully aromatic and precise cool-climate Riesling. The nose is highly lifted and expressive, showing notes of lime zest, green apple and citrus blossom, alongside white flowers, jasmine and a subtle flinty minerality. There is also a delicate layer of yuzu, orange zest and fresh herbs, giving the wine both vibrancy and complexity.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is exactly the kind of Riesling we position as a “serious, terroir-driven New Zealand Riesling”. Compared to more commercial styles, this wine is more focused, mineral and structured, making it ideal for customers who appreciate precision and elegance. It’s perfect for those who enjoy Clare Valley Riesling or German dry styles, and pairs beautifully with sashimi, oysters, spicy Asian dishes or goat cheese. A fantastic choice for drinking now, but also capable of evolving over the next 8–12+ years.
