The Vineyard
The Vineyard
Our Brightwater vineyard is exceptionally stony with free-draining soils, which is very hard on farm equipment. The large stones, however, are vital for holding the warmth of the Nelson sun and for ripening the grapes. Lively fruit characters are evident in fruit harvested from this block.
Winemaker's Notes
Winemaker's Notes
The fruit in our 2024 Seifried Nelson Rosé comes from our Brightwater vineyard. Parcels of Malbec were picked incrementally in March 2024 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 beingstabilised and bottled in June 2024.
"...the wine shows sweet cherry, wild strawberry, Gala apple and lemon zest on the nose, followed by a fruit-expressive palate that's filled with juicy flavours backed by a crisp acidity, finishing long and tasty."
