Overview:
The Seifried Winemakers Collection ‘Sweet Agnes’ Riesling 2021 is a truly special dessert wine named after co-founder Agnes Seifried, who is beloved as the matriarch of the family. Grown in the stony, free-draining soil of the Edens Road vineyard, bordered by the Wairoa River, this wine benefits from Nelson’s sun and the unique terroir. The 2021 vintage is a return to production after a hiatus in 2020, bringing a luscious and concentrated sweetness that ages beautifully, just like its namesake.
Tasting Notes:
This Riesling bursts with vibrant aromas of mandarin peel, crystallised ginger, and a hint of Christmas spice. The palate is luxurious and opulent, with rich citrus marmalade flavours balanced by a bright, refreshing acidity. With 177g/L of residual sugar, the sweetness is profound yet perfectly counterbalanced by the acidity, creating a harmonious, long-lasting finish. This intensely concentrated wine is an ideal treat for those who appreciate a decadent dessert wine with complexity and a lasting impression.
