Seifried Old Coach Road Unoaked Chardonnay 2022

Seifried Nelson Unoaked Chardonnay is a fresh and vibrant New Zealand white wine, showcasing the pure fruit expression of Chardonnay without oak influence. Crisp, aromatic, and flavoursome, it highlights tropical and stonefruit characters with lively acidity and a long, satisfying finish. Meet the Vineyard The grapes are sourced from Seifried’s Brightwater Vineyard, situated 15km from the coast and sheltered by the Richmond Ranges. The stony soils retain warmth, helping the fruit achieve optimal ripeness while producing concentrated, aromatic Chardonnay. Winemaking Grapes are carefully harvested at peak ripeness and gently pressed. The juice undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the natural tropical fruit and stonefruit aromas. Partial malolactic fermentation softens the acidity, after which the wine is stabilised and bottled to maintain freshness and purity. Tasting Notes Pale straw in colour, Seifried Nelson Unoaked Chardonnay displays aromas of summer stonefruit and tropical mango. The palate is succulent and well-balanced, with vibrant fruit flavours and a warm, supple texture leading to a long, clean finish. Food Pairing Ideal with fresh seafood, shellfish, light poultry dishes, or simply enjoyed on its own as a refreshing white wine. Grape Variety Chardonnay 100%
