Seresin Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Cinematographer Michael Seresin’s desire to create high quality wine in the most natural way possible led to the rise of Seresin Estate in the early 1990s – a wine estate that has ever since followed the principals of biodynamic and organic farming and winemaking. Allowing the wines a little extra time, not only adds savouriness, mouth-watering textures and flavours, but also shows the unique sense of place the wines come from.
Seresin Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Rich, weighty and tangy with a pleasing texture and flavours that suggest green capsicum, lime juice, cut grass and passionfruit supported by assertive acidity which helps drive a lengthy, drying finish.

Seresin Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Restrained with poise and elegance, the wine shows white flesh nectarine, basil, green tea and lemon zest aromas, leading to a beautifully weighted palate that’s finely flowing and lively. Delightfully textured and structured with a persistent elegant finish. Certified organic. At its best: now to 2030.

Seresin Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Very attractive bouquet of fruits and pungency, variety and power. Flavours of pineapple and fresh angelica leaf, red apple and gooseberry, nettles and white spice, cool stone minerality and fine lees. The acid line pulls every thing together set in a medium- weighted style, sligthly saline with a fleshy note on the finish. Well made, and ready to drink from 2024 through 2027+.’

Seresin Sauvignon Blanc 2023
This is one of the region’s most sophisticated, subtle and satisfying Sauvignons Blancs. It’s also one of the most important, given its widespread international distribution and certified BioGro status. The wine (which includes Sémillon – 10 per cent in 2023) is estate-grown in the Raupo Creek Vineyard, and mostly fermented in tanks with use of indigenous yeasts, but part of the blend (10 per cent in 2023) is fermented and lees-aged in seasoned French oak casks. Bright, light lemon/green, the 2023 vintage (4.5*) is fresh and medium-bodied, with strong, ripe, tropical fruit flavours, showing considerable complexity, and a dry (0.8 grams/litre of residual sugar) finish. Crisp and savoury, it should be at its best mid-2024+.

Serein Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Wild fermentation, a little bit of barrel-aging on lees and a 10% addition of Sémillon in the blend make the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc far from your stereotypical Marlborough style. This wine plays on its clarity, texture and freshness. It’s aromatically subtle, with green notes meeting nectarine and blackcurrant. While the region’s natural freshness abounds, the wine retains a round shape and natural curve before being sewn up by a thread of acidity. There are layers of interest here that will keep you coming back. Rating: 90 Points
