Seifried Nelson Sauvignon Blanc 2023

The 2023 Seifried Nelson Sauvignon Blanc is from our Brightwater vineyard. The fruit was pure, clean and concentrated at harvest. Basil leaf, snow peas and passionfruit characters to taste. The wine is energetic with bright acidity defining the flavoursome palate and leaving a long tasty finish.

The Brightwater vines are grown in an extremely stony area of the vineyard where water and nutrient levels are low. This helps us to restrict the plants' vigour and to crop at low levels. Our Brightwater Vineyard is situated 15km from the coast and is sheltered from the south by the Richmond ranges. The ‘soil’ is a combination of rocks and boulders which is very hard on the farm equipment but vital for holding the warmth of Nelson’s sun and for ripening the Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Our Queen Victoria Vineyard is located in the Motueka area in the heart of a region known for its apple orchards, kiwifruit and hops. Our grapes are grown on very stoney free draining soils giving lovely fruit clarity and varietal intensity.
