Seifried Estate Grüner Veltliner 2019 White

S$48.90

WINEMAKERS NOTE
Grüner Veltliner, is the most widely planted white grape variety in Austria which is Hermann Seifried’s homeland. We were thrilled to finally be able to grow Grüner Veltliner here in New Zealand after it had passed through the long quarantine process. In 2008 we chose our Brightwater Vineyard to plant a small area of these very special vines. More recently, we have established Grüner Veltliner vines in our Edens Road vineyard.

TASTING NOTE
The 2019 Seifried Nelson Grüner Veltliner has fresh apple and elderflower aromas on the nose. The Palate has the slightest hint of white pepper and autumn quince flavours coming through, leaving a smooth lingering finish.

“Beautifully ripe and elegantly expressed, the bouquet shows apricot, fig, lemon zest and white floral characters, leading to a wonderfully weighted palate that’s delightfully textured and persistent. It’s poised and attractively structured with a lengthy refreshing finish.”

About Seifried

Nelson’s oldest wine estate celebrated its 40th anniversary in December 2015.
Seifried Estate, with its beautiful wooden building surrounded by more than 250 hectares of vineyards, was started by Austrian-born Hermann Seifried and his New Zealander wife Agnes in 1973, when they planted their first grapes in the Moutere Valley near Nelson. They made their first wine in 1976. Seifried Estate is a proud member of the SWNZ (Sustainable Winegrowing NZ).

‘Seifried’ is the premium Estate label, with the fruit for these wines grown on established vines, usually in excess of eight years of age. The Seifried wines are often blends of fruit grown on several of the Estate vineyards, enabling production of wines with fantastic depth and complexity.
