Old Coach Road Sauvignon Blanc 2022 White Wine – Nelson, New Zealand

S$44.70

WINEMAKERS NOTE
In the vineyard, leaves were removed from around the fruiting zone to allow light penetration and air movement around the ripening bunches. Parcels of fruit were picked when flavours, sugars and grape acids were nicely in balance, giving fruit with intensely varietal flavours and a fresh, lasting acidity. 2022 was a cooler year than usual in Nelson resulting in delicate aromatics and bright acidity. We enjoyed a lovely settled warm run of the weather as fruit was ripening and and during the vital harvest period in March.

TASTING NOTE
Vibrant passionfruit and snow pea aromas while the palate is mouthfilling and packed with basil, citrus and hints of lemongrass. The palate is long, generous and tasty. ibrant passionfruit and snow pea aromas while the palate is mouthfilling and packed with basil, citrus and hints of lemongrass.

About Old Coach Road

Nelson’s oldest wine estate celebrated its 40th anniversary in December 2015.
Seifried Estate, with its beautiful wooden building surrounded by more than 250 hectares of vineyards, was started by Austrian-born Hermann Seifried and his New Zealander wife Agnes in 1973, when they planted their first grapes in the Moutere Valley near Nelson. They made their first wine in 1976. Seifried Estate is a proud member of the SWNZ (Sustainable Winegrowing NZ).

Old Coach Road is a selection of wines expressive of the region in which they are grown. They are easy-drinking, perfect for any occasion, and almost any cuisine you can think of. Best enjoyed young, these wines show a brightness, with plenty of fruit concentration and focus.
