Flavour Profile

Tasting Notes...

Using 100% Riesling fruit, the grapes were hand selected at the peak of ripeness with a large portion of the fruit shrivelled and raisined, through natural dehydration. The grapes were then gently pressed to release a very concentrated intensely flavoured juice, which was then vinified to the highest standards

Sweet Agnes is beauty of a wine! It is succulent and appealing with an intense perfume of fresh spring freesias and blossoms, mandarin peel and honey dew. The palate is full and unctuous, packed with ripe stonefruit, caramel and citrus. The streak of natural acidity gives a sleekness to the wine and complements the palate intensity leaving a clean well finished wine. Just gorgeous!

We say...

A very stylish wine that is irresistible postprandial on its own but also partners coarse liver pates, fruity desserts or tangy cheeses beautifully.

Seifried Sweet Agnes Riesling has deservedly won all these (and many more!) awards:

* TROPHY in the NZ Sweet Wine over £10 class at the 2011 Decanter World Wine Awards

* GOLD at the 2011 Decanter World Wine Awards

* GOLD & Best in Class at the 2011 International Wine & Spirits Competition

* DOUBLE GOLD at 2012 San Francisco International Wine Competition

* TROPHY in Best Young Sweet at 2011 International Sweet Wine Challenge, Australia

* SILVER at the 2011 (UK) Sommelier Wine Awards

Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting Notes...

There is no doubt that this beautifully balanced and aromatic wine lives up to its reputation with an intensely flavoured, distinctive varietal character.

An ideal alternative for Sancerre and Pouilly FumÌ© fans, this wine gives a little more in bouquet and palate. The pale, straw-coloured Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc glints with green, and is enticingly fragrant with lifted elderflower notes, tropical aromas of ripe peach, passion fruit, mango and citrus with hints of fennel and a touch of Pastis. The palate is ripe, fine and succulent, offering zesty ripe citrus flavours coupled with an edge of minerality and sweet herbs. A small barrel ferment component gives balancing flesh to the wine‰Ûªs crisp refreshing acidity

We say...

A classic wine from an outstanding producer
