Classic South Nelson Sauvignon Blanc 2011
by Heidi Seifried

  • It's not often that you find winemakers who combine the art of pulling teeth with the art of making top wine, but that's exactly what Heidi Siegfried does on her family estate in Nelson, South Island, New Zealand. And she's pulled a classic out of the bag with this one.
  • Racy, refreshing and rejuvenating this is a glass of pure gooseberry deliciousness.
  • Its the 2011 vintage, so it doesn't get much fresher and finer than this. Perfect for washing down a massive bowl of freshly cooked mussels. Heaven.

"I guess you could say that wine is in my blood. I grew up on the family vineyard and winery alongside my siblings who now also work in the family business. My mother and father pioneered modern wine-grape growing in the South Island of NZ. This was back in the early 70s when as a young couple they were told Nelson was too far south and that grapes would only ever be viable in the North Island of NZ. Now, 35 years plus later, the South Island of NZ produces the vast majority of NZ wine! Quite a remarkable turnaround in such a brief time!

I'm delighted that I've managed to stike a balance between my main career (Dentisty), and my passion, winemaking."

Not a bad Sauvignon blanc, but not fantastic either:( Other sauvignon's are probably better value for money

Fruity and very pleasant wine and would be delighted with it at around £7 per bottle but not exceptional for the price.

Very dry, but still fruity at the same time. Possibly one of the best wines I've ever tasted. I'm a huge fan of the Malborough wines from New Zealand, but this is even better.

Fantastic. Possibly one of the best wines I've ever tasted, It's very dry, which ticks the right box for me, but at the same time is very fruity. I only ordered a couple of bottles as part of a mixed case. I think I might order a whole case now.
