Seifried Nelson Sauvignon Blanc 2023

The 2023 Seifried Nelson Sauvignon Blanc is a blend of our very best looking parcels of Sauvignon Blanc from the season. Crop levels were modest and careful canopy management meant we harvested some lovely fruit in great condition. Beautiful passionfruit flavours with crisp snow peas and a twist of bright acidity defines the palate - and leaves you wanting another sip.

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.
