Seifried Estate

In 1973, Australia's Hermann Seifried and his wife Agnes decided to pursue their winemaking passion in the region of Nelson, one of the best wine-producing areas in New Zealand. Known for its continuous exposure to sunlight, Nelson, located on top of the South Island in New Zealand, is home to some scintillating vines. With beaches, national parks, lakes and mountains surrounding Nelson, it is not a surprise that Seifried chose this place for growing vines of top quality.

Nelson receives over 2400 hours of sunlight every year, making it grow one of the best Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir varietals in the world. The wines produced here have gradually gone on to gain international recognition in the recent past. The family owns 325 hectares of vineyards located across locations such as the following:

Redwood Valley Vineyard – It is a 30-hectare vineyard that had its first vines planed in 1979.  Rich and complex varietals of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Riesling and Gewurztraminer grow here in plenty.
