Tasting notes
Our Seaview Vineyard in the Awatere Valley is one of New Zealand’s most coastal vineyards. Breath-taking vistas of rolling hills and wild coastline define our wines. The strong offshore winds encourage the grapes to grow small with thickened skins and wonderfully concentrated characteristics.
Yealands Estate Single Vineyard wines are the truest expression of our coastal location, showcasing our unique environment and diversity of flavours across this singularly incredible vineyard.

Winemaker's notes
The low cropping vines were harvested in excellent condition. The fruit was destemmed and pressed, where the free run juice was separated from the pressings into stainless steel tanks.
The juice was then left on cold and settled for 72 hours, after which the clear juice was racked into a concrete egg, a seasoned 1000L French oak barrel, and a stainless steel tank for fermentation and added complexity.
The portion fermented in concrete egg and the extended time on lees has created a complex mineral texture. Post fermentation the wine was blended, stabilised and filtered prior to bottling.

Our parcel of Grüner Veltliner is located on a sheltered north facing slope, on our Seaview vineyard. The soil is predominantly windblown loess
