A benchmark New Zealand dessert wine, Sweet Agnes Riesling from Seifried in Nelson is renowned for its purity, balance and consistency, reflecting both careful vineyard selection and precise winemaking.
Tasting Notes:
Bright and expressive on the nose, with aromas of mandarin peel, lime and delicate floral notes, underpinned by hints of honey and spice. The palate is luscious yet finely poised, combining ripe citrus and stone fruit sweetness with vibrant acidity. This interplay creates a beautifully balanced wine with a long, generous and refreshing finish.
Winemaking:
Produced from Riesling grown in Nelson’s cool, sunny climate, where slow ripening helps preserve natural acidity while allowing flavours to develop fully. Careful harvesting ensures optimal ripeness, with fermentation managed to retain the wine’s natural sweetness and aromatic intensity while maintaining clarity and freshness.
Food Pairing:
Ideal with fruit-based desserts, citrus tarts and light pastries. It also pairs elegantly with blue cheeses or can be enjoyed on its own as a refined and satisfying conclusion to a meal.
ABV: 10.5%
