The 2007 Sweet Agnes Riesling shows great promise, perhaps even more complex on the nose with a more beeswax element, luscious ripe honeyed fruit on the palate but just lacking the delineation and acidity towards the finish.Seifried is one of Nelson’s oldest wineries, founded in 1973 by Austrian-born Hermann Seifried and his Kiwi wife Agnes Seifried in the Moutere Valley. They currently farm around 160 hectares and their new winery came on-line in 1996 on Rabbit Island adjacent to their first 60-hectare vineyard that was planted in 1988. There is an emphasis upon exports (in the UK it is distributed under the Redwood label.)Importer, Robert Whale Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 237-5200; fax (202) 244-4198.
