Harvest 2020

July 22, 2020

As the light at the end of the tunnel gets slighter brighter here in NZ and the first of the 2020 wines go-to bottle, we can take a minute to look back on the whirlwind that was Vintage 2020 – under lockdown!

The harvest which Hermann describes as one of the most challenging in his winemaking career, but this time the sleepless nights were not due to rain on the roof or disease pressure in the vineyard, but the uncertainty of what would come next in this moment in history.

Here are just some of the faces who helped get us through – and a wee look at harvest 2020 behind-the-scenes at Seifried Estate, Nelson, New Zealand. Enjoy!

A big hello – from our bubble to yours

I hope everyone is keeping well during these uncertain times. When we were planning this newsletter earlier in the year, we certainly didn’t predict a global pandemic to be on the agenda, yet here we are!

We are feeling very grateful that we have been able to complete our grape harvest, and continue to fulfil orders both nationally and internationally during New Zealand's Level 4 lockdown. With a reduced staff number and a range of new procedures in place, it’s been a busy time at the Seifried headquarters and we offer a huge thank you to New Zealand Winegrowers and the Ministry for Primary Industries for all the guidance and support as we navigate this new way of doing business.

As we move down alert levels, it does feel like there is light at the end of the tunnel, and a fitting time to touch base, reconnect, and share with you the latest happenings here at Seifried Estate.
