Intro to Old Coach Road Pinot Noir –
Old Coach Road Pinot Noir from Nelson in South Island New Zealand has lively and fruit driven, with strong cherry, berry flavours and a warm spicy finish.
Full tasting note and wine making –
The Old Coach Road Pinot Noir has classic Pinot Noir aromas of brambly juicy plum and summer berry characters. Succulent palate entry evolves to display gentle spicy oak notes alongside ripe cherry, berry and plum. After the fermentation period the wine was moved to oak barrels for an immediate malolactic fermentation and ageing.
Old Coach Road – this range is named after the Old Coach Road, a local Nelson landmark running along a ridge in the centre of the Moutere area. During the 1850’s the first regular mail deliveries were carried by foot and then by horseback. Old Coach Road wines were introduced in the early nineties, and include a bright and fresh, and fruit-driven Sauvignon Blanc, Unoaked Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
The Producer –
Seifried Estate established its first vineyard in 1973, when Austrian-born Hermann Seifried and his New Zealand wife Agnes planted grapes in the Moutere Valley between Nelson and Motueka. The first Seifried wines were made in 1976, and their success inspired others to plant vineyards on the South Island, thus beginning the area’s commercial wine industry now producing 3% of annual national production.
Summertime temperatures are slightly cooler than neighbouring Marlborough, and grapes ripen more slowly over a longer period. The wines show great elegance, purity of fruit and minerality. The range includes Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Malbec and Syrah with just a few rows of the Austrian classics; Grüner Veltliner, Zweigelt, and Würzer, a German aromatic.
Today Seifried Estate is a family business with involvement of all three children. Over 40 years, vineyard plantings have continued and now with eight specifically chosen sites and each vineyard microclimate and is planted with different varieties. Innovation is also important with a modern winery where they use traditional and modern winemaking methods, & Seifried Estate is proud to be Nelson’s first winery to achieve Sustainable Winegrowing accreditation – defined by a set of industry best practice standards, which provides guidelines for companies looking to protect environmental integrity throughout their wine production.
