Seresin Chardonnay 2022

A refined, complete expression of Chardonnay that exudes elegance and poise. The nose is lifted with notes of fleshy stone fruits laced with brioche, and the palate is layered, creamy and complex, yet still elegant, and is framed with focused acidity.

Sourced from our clay rich Raupo vineyard, in the centre of the Omaka Valley. This vineyard has a gentle north–west facing aspect and enjoys high sunshine hours and minimal rain. The vineyard is farmed following organic and biodynamic principles.

Certified organic and biodynamic fruit was handpicked in three batches, between the 19-27th March. Picked by clone - commencing with Mendoza, then Clone 95 and finally Clone 15, each batch was directly 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 six months in French oak, both puncheons and barriques, the batches were blended, filtered and bottled.
