Seresin Estate Marlborough Chardonnay 2024

Bringing together two individual plots and three clones from our Raupo Creek Vineyard, the Seresin Chardonnay reflects “house style” of Chardonnay from our special site. An elegant, focussed Chardonnay, that is bone dry but multilayered with savoury texture and depth of concentration. Our clay rich Raupo Creek vineyard, farmed following organic and biodynamic principles is located in the centre of the Omaka Valley. This vineyard has a gentle north-west facing aspect and enjoys high sunshine hours and minimal rain. Certified organic and biodynamic fruit was handpicked by clone, in three batches. Each batch was whole bunch pressed to tank for overnight settling before being racked to barrel. All batches went through 100% wild fermentation, and subsequently 100% malolactic fermentation. After nine months in French oak, both puncheons and barriques, the batches were blended, filtered and bottled.
