Oodles character - tasting as though its a Pinot of twice the price.
Tom’s Block is a handsome drop that will flirt with your taste buds, proving yet again Neudorf’s status of being one NZ’s top producers.
It all starts with warm assortment of red summer fruits – plums, blackberries, and dark cherries. Subtle tannins then enter the picture with rustic herbs, mocha and savoury characters. Tom’s Block is an incredibly enjoyable experience on its own, but its flavours are great with the roasted cuisine of duck, or turkey.
