Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"The 2024 Seifried Nelson Riesling is a single wine from our Edens Road vineyard. Fruit is vibrant, aromatic and pure. The wine has an appealing tension on the palate with crisp natural acidity cutting through the 17.5g/L residual sugar pulling you back for another sip. Fruit concentration fills out the generous palate, leaving honeysuckle and a twist of lime of the palate.
Our 2024 Seifried Nelson Riesling comes from the perfect season we enjoyed with low rainfall and negligible disease pressure. The pristine fruit condition and low yields (from late October spring frost) meant we had amazing quality, low yielding fruit to work with. 2024 was simply an outstanding vintage in Nelson – in fact Hermann Seifried has commented that it is perhaps the very best vintage of his 49 seasons in the top of the South! That from a character not known for exaggeration or embellishments.
Delicate fruit flavours and aromas were retained from the vineyard using careful canopy management and the grapes were picked at optimal ripeness in good condition. 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. The wine was blended and stabilised in July 2024."
5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, November 2024 (2024 Vintage)
"It's delicately lifted on the nose, showing crunchy apple, green rockmelon, lime peel and jasmine nuances. The palate displays lovely poise and youthful fruit flavours, splendidly supported by fine texture and bright acidity, finishing lingering and elegant. Style: Off-dry. At its best: now to 2030."

"Lemon and mandarin citrus aromas come through on the nose in just the right level of intensity and lure you into a palate that is well weighted with lovely fruit concentration. Fabulous acidity adds vibrancy and drive."
16.5/20 Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, November 2024 (2024 Vintage)
"Intense orange and grapefruit aroma with light fumy/herbal note that gives a mineral impression. Complex aroma. Kabinett-like sweetness is well in balance. Lots of acid tension and mouth-watering length."
90/100 Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review (2024 Vintage)
"This is a ripe riesling with notes of spice, honeycomb, apple blossom, peach and ripe citrus. The palate explodes with fruit, supported by its medium-dry sweetness on a lush, generous palate which gently tapers down to pithiness on the finish."
