Welcome to Seifried Estate's e-cellar door
Our family have been pouring heart and soul into every bottle since 1973, when Hermann and Agnes grafted, planted and tended the first grapes in the Nelson region, raising their three children amongst the vines. Today, we remain a family estate winery. We grow it. We harvest it. We make it. And we take meticulous care with each step, from soil to bottle, for the love of family and good wine.
Today the Seifried family estate encompasses 330 hectares of vineyards, a cellar door, winery, and the Harvest Kitchen restaurant and venue. Drawing on a deep well of family knowledge and care for our craft, we produce a range of wines with true varietal character.
Our wines are the faithful companions of family tables – each sip is a reminder of simple pleasures and enduring traditions. Nelson’s gravelly soils and long summer days yield full, rich flavours for wines with true varietal character. From lovable New Zealand classics to unexpected aromatics – at Seifried you will find remarkable wines for every moment.
Our Vineyards
Located in the Nelson region, at the top of New Zealand’s South Island, the Seifried family estate is devoted to sustainable winegrowing, with a passion for producing pure, varietal wines which capture the unique terroir of the region. Harvesting grapes from over 330 hectares across ten vineyard locations, every bottle we craft is a celebration of our home.
Tucked beside the coast and bordered by mountains on three sides, Nelson is known as the sunshine capital of New Zealand. The region’s temperate coastal climate, marked by warm, sun-kissed days and cool, crisp nights, produces wines with intense varietal characters, bright aromas and well balanced natural acidity.
“Every bottle we craft captures the unique terroir of this sun-soaked land; gentle coastlines fed by stony rivers, and rolling hills swelling to rugged mountains.”
Our vineyards are spread over three main soil types – heavy clay loam, sandy silty coastal sites, and rocky river beds – with a variety of micro-climates. Each site is strategically planted with varieties to optimise its unique conditions, resulting in distinct expressions of each variety and offering exciting opportunities for blending.
