Seresin Sun & Moon Pinot Noir 2017

The jewel in the crown of Seresin Pinot Noir. A charming, highly aromatic wine with notes of delicate red berry fruit that integrate seamlessly with savoury, forest floor aromas. The palate is vibrant and juicy, yet structured and elegant, supported by fine, supple tannins. This wine will continue to age gracefully for many years to come. Cellar up to 2032.

Our clay rich Raupo vineyard, farmed following organic and biodynamic principles is located in the centre of the Omaka Valley. The fruit for this wine comes from our steep clay rich hillside block - Osip. Each vine is hand tended throughout the season to create a balanced canopy and optimise fruit quality.

A carefully selected batch of Pinot Noir fruit was hand harvested from our Osip clay sloped hill on the Raupo vineyard. The fruit was destemmed into small stainless steel open top tanks, whereby natural fermentation took place. Gentle hand plunging took place twice daily. After an extended period on skins of up to 6 weeks, the batches were pressed gently and then racked to French oak barrels for 10 months (25% new). They were then blended and then returned to French oak puncheons for a further 8 months. The wine was then bottled unfined and unfiltered.
