The Vineyard

The Edens Road vineyard is an extremely stony area where water and nutrient levels are low. This helps us to restrict plant vigour and to crop at low levels. To further enhance the aromatics, leaves were removed to allow light penetration and air movement to the fruiting zone. This vineyard is situated 15 km 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 farm equipment but vital for holding the warmth of Nelson’s sun - and ripening the Grüner Veltliner fruit.

Winemaker's Notes

Grüner Veltliner is the most widely planted white grape variety in Austria, which is Hermann Sefried’s homeland. We were thrilled to finally be able to grow Grüner Veltliner here in New Zealand after it had passed though 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.

"Pristine and elegantly fragrant with white flesh stone fruit, lemon peel and jasmine nuances with a hint of white pepper on the nose. The brilliantly focused palate displays fine flow and silky texture, wonderfully framed by vibrant acidity, finishing long and mouth-watering."
