Using grapes harvested from estate grown, ‘Sustainably Accredited’ (Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand – SWNZ[8]) vineyards scattered throughout the Nelson region, this is now a second-generation wine producer, with siblings Heidi, Chris and Anna now working alongside their parents in various management positions within the family business.[9][10][11]

Seifried Estate Winery farms over 325 hectares of vines around the Nelson and Marlborough region, and exports wine around the world.[12][13][14] Seifried Estate Winery has gained a reputation for lesser known varieties including Grüner Veltliner, Zweigelt, and Würzer – a rare grape variety for which Seifried are the only NZ producer.[15][16]

In September 2014, Hermann and Agnes Seifried were acknowledged for their contributions to New Zealand wine and inducted as Fellows of New Zealand Winegrowers.[4] They are the first husband and wife team to be inducted and the first for a woman.[17]
