"The 2007 Sauvignon Blanc has a vibrant nose with hints of tropical fruit: orange zest and apricot with subtle herbaceous tones on the palate, a more nuanced take on the grape than the 2006 Sauvignon Blanc.

Neudorf is undoubtedly one of the leading lights of Nelson, one of the top wineries in New Zealand. Located on north-facing slopes in the Moutere Hills on sandy-loam topsoil with clay subsoil that engender natural acidity; under winemaker John Kavanagh, Neudorf is producing high quality wines that aspire towards the Old World, suffused with minerality and nervosite. Everything except the Sauvignon Blanc is hand-picked and generally the Brightwater wines are fermented using cultured yeasts whilst the Mouteres use wild ferments." Neal Martin, Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Apr 2008.

"Concentrated ripe nectarine, melon and stewed apple flavours are evident on this appealing wine.  Bone dry with tangy acidity and lingering finish.  One of New Zealand's top Sauvignon Blancs."  Bob Campbell, Australian Gourmet Traveller Wine.

"...highly atmospheric, unashamedly pungent and proud of its sexy, fresh sweat and wild herb aromatics.  The unctuous texture conceals structure wicked as a sheathed stiletto.  About as good as Sauvignon gets."  Dr. Paul White, Australian Wine Traveller 03.
