Seifried Gewurztraminer 2024

Seifried Estate was established by Hermann and Agnes Seifried when they planted their first vineyard in Upper Moutere in 1973, well before the Marlborough wine region had been established. At the time, Nelson was well known for its hops, tobacco and apples, and Hermann recognised this was a potential location to plant vines.

Almost fifty years later, Seifried farm over 300 hectares of vineyards, across nine sustainably-accredited vineyard locations throughout the Nelson region.
In 2014 Agnes and Hermann were recognised for their contribution to the New Zealand grape and wine industry by being inducted as Fellows of New Zealand Winegrowers, one of the New Zealand wine industry’s greatest acknowledgements.

This was the first time in its history that a husband and wife team were recognised, and the first time a woman has been honoured.

From the Redwood Valley and Brightwater vineyards, hand-picked in mid-March. Destemmed with short skin contact before pressing. Cool fermented in stainless steel, then aged briefly on lees before bottling in June.
