Maturation
The fruit in our 2023 Seifried Nelson Rosé comes from our Brightwater Vineyard. Parcels of Malbec were picked incrementally in March 2023 at peak of flavour and phenolic ripeness. Drained juice was settled, warmed and inoculated for a clean, crisp fermentation to retain lovely fruit characters. The wine had a brief period on yeast lees before being stabilized and bottled in July 2023.
