SERESIN ESTATE:
Hand-grown, hand-picked and handmade, Seresin wines have forged a reputation for individuality and complexity. Established in 1992 by filmmaker Michael Seresin, a combination of own vineyard selection, organic and biodynamic viticultural practices and subtle winemaking techniques have ensured Seresin's commitment to premium wines.
VINEYARD: The hand-picked fruit comes from our clay-rich hillside Raupo Creek vineyard and the Home vineyard which is made up of a variety of free draining Waimakiriri soils.
CLONES: Mendoza, 2/23, Cl.15, Cl.95, and MVIG1
VINIFICATION: The fruit was hand-sorted before being whole-bunch pressed and then sent straight to barrel. 
Each parcel was naturally fermented in French Oak, twenty-five percent of which was new. Following primary fermentation the wine went through malolactic fermentation, which occurred naturally in barrel. After 11 months in oak the wine was blended and lightly filtered and bottled without fining.
The finished wine has an alcohol of 13.5 percent, pH of 3.5, 5.5g/L titratable acid and less than 1.7g/L residual sugar.
WINEMAKER'S NOTES: The nose exhibits gun smoke and aromas of citrus and toasted almond with a suggestion of toffee. The palate is viscous with hints of grapefruit and salted caramel, supported by a firm balanced acidity.
CELLARING POTENTIAL: Drinking well now and will improve over the next five years
