Overview:
The Seifried 2023 Pinot Gris is a captivating wine that showcases the diverse terroirs of Nelson, sourced from three distinct estate vineyards. Each vineyard contributes its own unique characteristics: the stony soils of Queen Victoria and Brightwater, along with the gravelly sandy loam of Rabbit Island, provide a harmonious blend of fruit clarity, intensity, and freshness. This wine reflects the care taken by Seifried in managing multiple microclimates, clones, and aged vines, resulting in a broad and complex palate.
Tasting Notes:
The nose opens with a delightful bouquet of bright white peach, autumn pear, and the rich aroma of crème brûlée. On the palate, the wine reveals a flavoursome, well-structured profile, offering a perfect balance of weight and elegance. Subtle hints of ginger linger on the finish, adding a touch of spice to the experience. This off-dry Pinot Gris is beautifully balanced, with a twist of natural acidity that ensures a refreshing and smooth finish, making it a versatile choice for a variety of occasions.
