Winery notes (2019 Vintage)
"2019 was an outstanding vintage in Nelson with a very warm and dry growing season. This resulted in some outstanding parcels of fruit including our Brightwater Cabernet Franc. Our team was so impressed with the ripe flavoursome Cabernet Franc that we decided to keep it separate and bottle this outstanding parcel as a single varietal.

The 2019 Aotea by the Seifried Family Cabernet Franc is inky with ripe generous tannins and a rich fruit palate. Flavours of blueberry, cacao nib and hints of freshly cracked pepper are irresistible on the palate and leave a lingering impression."

Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, June 2024 (2019 Vintage)
"A very attractive bouquet and palate with scents and flavours of plums, olives and dark berries, there’s a natural sage or soft leaf quality then suggestions of tobacco and violets as the wine opens out in glass. Dry with moderate textured tannins, plenty of acidity and flavours that reflect the fruits and non fruits from the bouquet – right on the finish. Maturing nicely and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2030."

5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, July 2020 (2019 Vintage)
"It's fabulously fruited and perfumed on the nose showing blackcurrant, violet, cedar, thyme and dark spice aromas, leading to a beautifully weighted palate that's silky and flowing. The wine offers gorgeous varietal purity and poise, beautifully complemented by fleshy texture and polished tannins, making the wine harmonious and persistent. At its best: now to 2025."

4 ½ Stars Michael Cooper (2019 Vintage)
"From 'great fruit in perfect condition', the 2019 vintage was estate-grown at Brightwater and matured in French oak barriques (one and two years old). A powerful, youthful red, it has deep, purple-flushed colour. Full-bodied, it has fresh blackcurrant, plum and spice flavours, showing excellent ripeness and depth, a gentle seasoning of oak, lively acidity, and supple tannins. Worth discovering."

92/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review (2019 Vintage)
"Attractively aromatic cabernet franc with blackcurrant bud, raspberry, anise, fresh herbs and spicy oak flavours. An elegant and appealing wine from the gravely soils in the Brightwater subregion."
