Seifried Grüner Veltliner

Herman came to New Zealand in 1971 to take up an apple winemaking job with the New Zealand Apple and Pear Board at New Year in 1971. Met and married Agnes that same year, the young couple purchased land in the Moutere Valley between Nelson and Motueka. There they began the long process of hand grafting phylloxera resistant rootstock onto vinifera wood to propagate plants for their first vineyard with a crazy 14 different veriatals!

The estate is very much still safely in the hands of the Seifried family with Chris, Heidi and Anna carrying on within the business in their choosen fields of expertise. 

The summer warmth and consistant sunshine hours help the low yielding vines on the Brightwater and Edens Road vineyard ripen beautifully. We get lots of honeydew melon and chai spices. A clean mineral finish leaves a lasting impression. Definatly one to try if you are a Pinot Gris fan.
