Description
Named after Michael Seresin’s daughter, the Seresin Estate Leah Pinot Noir 2016 exhibits bright, fragrant berry-fruit aromas, interlaced with spice and herbal notes. The wine is focused and concentrated, with a succulent fruit core, framed by fine-grained tannins and a mouth-watering acidity. An elegant and understated style with immediate appeal, but structure to last.
The 2016 winegrowing vintage at Seresin Estate will be remembered for a challenging cold start with a spectacular long summer. A very long and constant frost fighting season ensured the team were under pressure from the start. Towards the end of January we were predicting a later harvest than normal, but an intense long summer followed by a dry harvest period enabled us to deliver the fruit on-time, intact and without stress. The harvest itself was fast and furious, one of the most compact we have ever experienced.
The fruit comes mostly from the clay-rich hillside Raupo Creek vineyard in the OmakaValley with a small amount also from the Noavineyard, which is made up of Waimakariri type soils of alluvial origin.
The fruit was hand-picked, destemmed and fermented with wild yeast, and the caps hand-plunged daily during fermentation. The wine was left on skins for 4-5 weeks, then drained, lightly pressed and transferred to aged French oak barriques, 12% new. The wine went through natural malolactic fermentation during 11 months maturation, before it was bottled lightly filtered and unfined.
