Seresin Organic Chardonnay 2022

Seresin Estate, located in Marlborough’s Wairau Valley, was founded by Michael Seresin in 1992. The vineyards are spread across the warm, stony valley floor, and up into the gentle slopes of the Omaka Valley to the south. Their specially chosen sites are planted with Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinto Gris.

Certified BioGro organic and biodynamically farmed, the vineyards are rich in biodiversity. The estate’s winemaking approach is based on care in the vineyard, and minimal intervention in the winery, allowing the characteristics of the fruit and the season to emerge, and the wines to express a sense of time, with wines from each harvest subtly different from its predecessor.

The estate's distinctive handprint logo symbolizes the ‘handmade’ philosophy that guides their artisanal winemaking process.

Grapes were hand-harvested from the clay-rich Raupo Creek vineyard in three batches from 19th - 27th March, picked by clone and then whole-bunch pressed. Each batch was pressed to tank for overnight settling before being racked to barrel. All batches went through 100% wild fermentation and subsequently 100% malolactic fermentation. After 6 months on French oak, both puncheons and barriques, the batches were blended, filtered and bottled.
