"An awesome expression of the variety, showing passionfruit, green apple, apricot and sweet basil aromas on the nose, leading to a wonderfully flavoursome palate that's packed with vibrant fruit flavours and juicy acidity. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2021
The 2021 Aotea by the Seifried Family Nelson Sauvignon Blanc is simply bursting with flavour and punch. Its lightly aromatic with crushed hops, fresh verbena and ripe passionfruit. The palate is generously flavoursome with gorgeous mineral backbone to balance the succulent ripe tropical fruit flavours.
Thee 2021 growing season was cooler than usual in Nelson resulting in delicate aromatics and bright acidity. Their Brightwater Vineyard lies about 15km from the sea (10km from the winery) and is nestled under the Richmond Ranges on the southern end of the Waimea Plains. The temperature at this site fluctuates more than any of their other vineyards due to its distance from the coastline. The Vineyard is exceptionally stony with free draining soils, which is very hard on the farm equipment. The large stones however are vital for holding the warmth of the Nelson sun and for ripening the grapes. Lively fruit characters are evident in fruit harvested from this block. Their Rabbit Island Vineyards are situated on a wide river Flat. The soil is gravelly sandy loam which is very sandy and free draining. These vineyards are about 1.5 kilometres from the sea which helps moderate temperatures.
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, fresh aromatic fruit characters.
