The 2015 Chardonnay Reserve is a wine full of concentration and poise. It has a broad mouthfeel, backed with firm acidity and salty minerality. The nose is savoury and complex, with finely-balanced oak and warm orchard fruit.

Seresin taste all their Chardonnay barrels a year after vintage, selecting the best and most interesting to become the Reserve. These then spend another six months in old oak puncheons, gaining depth, complexity and integration. The certified organic fruit was hand-picked from the rich, clay-based slopes of the biodynamically-certified Raupo Creek vineyard in the Omaka Valley.

Founded in 1992 by cinematographer Michael Seresin, Seresin Estate is farmed organically and operates under biodynamic principals. Seresin Estate encompasses not only the vines and olive groves, but also pasture land, livestock, vegetable gardens and orchards, as well as native vegetation. Seresin Estate is a new world winery with an old world approach. Organically and biodynamically grown, hand-tendered and hand-picked, the grapes are hand-made into wines of passion, grace and spirit.
