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.
