Seresin Organic Sauvignon Blanc 2023

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 came from the from the Raupo Creek vineyard, where seven parcels of fruit were hand-picked, then the grapes were pressed and the juice settled naturally before being racked, taking light lees to small stainless-steel tanks or older French oak barriques and puncheons for natural fermentation. The parcels remained on lees for 5 months, then were blended, stabilised and filtered. A small portion of Sémillon (10%) was included in the blend. The portion of barrel fermentation is 10%. There is no new oak in this wine.
