Overview:
The Seifried 2021 Grüner Veltliner is a refined expression of Nelson’s unique terroir, born from the stony, nutrient-deficient soils of the Edens Road and Brightwater vineyards. With their sheltered location and strategic canopy management, these vineyards produce low yields of fruit that are both aromatic and expressive. Originating from Hermann Seifried’s homeland of Austria, Grüner Veltliner has found a second home in New Zealand, where it thrives and delivers exceptional quality.
Tasting Notes:
The 2021 vintage is a beautifully ripe and aromatic Grüner Veltliner, with enticing aromas of tree-ripened fig, white peach, and delicate citrus blossoms. On the palate, it is dry yet generous, offering layers of succulent fruit with a vibrant freshness. The wine’s balanced acidity enhances its structure, while the long, lingering finish leaves a lasting impression of elegance and subtle complexity. This Grüner Veltliner is a testament to the region’s ability to produce wines of finesse and depth, making it an excellent choice for those seeking something distinct and refreshing.
