Nelson

Don’t confine yourself to Sauvignon Blanc. New Zealand offers so much more, including this deliciously fresh, spicy and exotic, fruit filled Gewurz. It’s from sun blessed Nelson and the lovely Seifried family, among the first to plant vines there.

If you love the crisp cut and aromatics of Marlborough Sauvignon, yet want to branch out, try the delicious Seifried Gewurztraminer. The family estate lies in Nelson, next to Marlborough on the northern tip of South Island. It’s a region renowned for abundant sunshine, and very beautiful too, with snow capped mountains, lakes, forests and beaches. The founders, Hermann and Agnes Seifried, planted their first vines in 1973, and 1976 saw their first harvest. The second generation are now involved – Chris and Heidi as winemakers and Anna in marketing – and their wines win many prizes. Here they use spicy, lychee scented Gewurztraminer – a variety renowned in Alsace. This is a fresher style, off dry with lots of juicy fruit and exotic flavours.

"A new taste for Kiwi lovers – breezy, fresh and off dry. Exotically fruity Gewurz. Give it a go!" Dan Parrott
