Serré (a French word meaning “tightly packed”) features Pinot Noir grown at Serré Vineyard using close-planting, low trellising and narrow rows to replicate the tough vineyard conditions of Grand Cru Burgundy, naturally yielding at 500g/vine. This block may be the oldest close-planted vineyard outside Europe. It certainly is the best of Bannockburns Pinot Noir sites: uniform, focused, powerful and fragrant, every year. It will continue to develop and drink well for another ten to 15 years or more.
Bright mid red in colour, with a vibrant nose of lively red fruits and complex spice, the whole bunch fermentation creates transparency and structure. Palate displays the fruit purity, balance and finesse characteristic of this special vineyard site.
