At the beginning of harvest, we had Aaron Dickson visit us to film this short video. Filmed for a Spring tasting with our UK importer, Armit, the video shows a snapshot of Seresin and the 2011 vintage with our winemaker, Clive Dougall.
This week, lots of the Seresin team are in Wellington for Pinot Noir 2010. It's a 4 day celebration of Pinot Noir - lots of tastings, culinary events, speakers, and thought-provoking discussion. It's also a great chance to meet and catch up with other Pinot-philes from around the world; wine writers, winemakers and consumers alike. One such bunch we caught up with was the lovewine team, who spoke to our winemaker Clive about our Pinot Noir. Check out the video here.
Someone else we caught up with was Jamie Goode, the blogger behind WineAnorak. He has written a wrap up of Pinot Noir 2010, Day 1. See if you can spot anyone from Seresin, or the lovely things he has to say about our wines...
The November-December issue of Ontario's Vines Magazine carries a review of Seresin's 2005 'Leah' Pinot Noir by John Szabo. Awarding the wine 4.5 stars, Szabo writes:
“Seresin Estate practices organic viticulture. This wine is a blend of Pinot from three single vineyards all located in the Marlborough district of New Zealand’s South Island. The nose explodes out of the gates with rich, ripe red berry fruit, fresh butter, plum and well integrated wood-aging notes of vanilla, smoke and sweet baking spice. The palate is generous and concentrated, with a creamy texture framed by firm acidity, gentle tannic grip and a long spicy red berry finish. A classic new world style Pinot that will dance with anything from a fillet of grilled wild-caught or organically farmed salmon to duck breast in a pomegranate reduction.”
Here is an introduction to the 2006 vintage of this wine from Seresin Estate Winemaker Clive Dougall.
As promised earlier, we've taken some footage of our winemaker Clive Dougall talking about our current release wines. Here is Clive introducing our 2007 Sauvignon Blanc.
With the help of our friends at Wellington's Film School we prepared a short video introducing Seresin Estate, our wines and oils and some of our philosophies and practices.
We hope you find it of interest.
