Seifrieds prides itself on being a true family business. From small beginnings, when Hermann and Agnes Seifried would graft the vines late into the night, while still working their ‘day jobs’, to today when all 3 Seifried children have come home to play their part in growing the family business.
Hermann Seifried, originally from Austria, came to New Zealand in response to an apple winemaking job, with the New Zealand Apple and Pear Board in 1970. Hermann studied winemaking at Weinsberg in Germany prior to this and had been working for the KWV in South Africa.
After meeting Agnes, a true blue Kiwi girl, who was teaching at the local high school, Hermann decided New Zealand was where he wanted to stay. They married in 1971 and with little more than a dream the young couple purchased land in the Moutere Valley and began the long process of developing their first vineyard.
The Pinot Noir from Seifred is a delight. Exotic earthy notes combine with softly spicy mid-weight berry fruit on the nose. Well proportioned spicy oak and tannins combine with succulent fruit giving lasting flavours.
