Seresin Vineyards embrace the principals of Bio-dynamics and traditional winemaking; hand-tending the organic vineyards and crafting wines in harmony with seasonal and celestial rhythms.
2008 was a season of huge promise. A good flowering period produced a large number of bunches, which were thinned to achieve optimum yields. Fine warm weather over summer allowed for even ripening and sped up grape development bringing the vintage forward. Unusually, all varieties seemed to ripen at the same time.The certified organic fruit comes from selected parcels in the Seresin Home vineyard which surrounds the winery. The hand-picked grapes used for the 2008 Marama comes from our oldest Sauvignon Blanc vines and makes up the ripest portion of our Sauvignon Blanc harvest. The fruit was hand-sorted then whole-bunch pressed, before being transferred directly to French Burgundian barriques, twenty-five percent of which were new. The juice and solids were left to undergo spontaneous fermentation using wild yeast, followed by partial natural malolactic fermentation. The wine was then left in barrel on yeast lees for sixteen months, with regular stirring. The 2008 Marama has its own identity; richly textured it exhibits aromas of citrus and elderflower with a hint of honey-comb. The palate is complex with flavours of melon, brioche, spice and a hint of marmalade. A tight and focused acidity creates a long, lingering finish. This wine should develop well over the next eight years.
