WINE-MAKING
Aromatic and fresh Sauvignon Blanc flavours were encouraged prior to vintage through careful canopy management. The fruit was de-stemmed and pressed immediately after harvest, and a cool fermentation was initiated in stainless steel tanks to retain the clean aromatic fruit characters.

TASTING NOTES
“This good-value wine has a fresh, strong, ripely herbaceous bouquet – there’s no mistaking the grape variety. Full-bodied, it shows good intensity of tropical fruit and herbaceous flavours and is crisp, dry, and zesty.“ – Micheal Cooper, Listener, October 2014

“Since 1973 Nelson’s Seifried Family Estate has been producing quality wines at most reasonable prices and this sauvignon is no exception. This wine is medium-bodied with hints of melon, green capsicum and lime. A winner with shellfish.“ – John Hawkesby, NZ Herald, August 2014
