Biodynamics is a form of organic farming that emphasises the interrelationship of soil fertility and plant growth, drawing on Rudolf Steiner's theories that incorporates an astrological sowing and planting calendar.
Press Review
" The fact that Seresin can make a distinctive Pinot Noir like this, given how many different cuvées he makes, says a great deal. In order to get there he’s used biodynamic fruit fermented in small clay amphora with 50% whole bunch, unfined and unfiltered. To look at the wine is medium pink-purple, slightly cloudy. The nose is intensely perfumed with pretty violets, fruits of the forest, wild red cherries, leaning towards the funk; in the mouth the wine is juicy, warm, textured, vibrant and lush with a fine, dry stone mouthfeel, softly tannic, washes of fruit, lip-smacking dry. I think natural wine lovers will lap this up, perhaps a broader audience too, but only those who don’t like playing safe all the time. 12.5% abv "Peter Dean, The Buyer
Winemaking
Certified organic grapes were hand-picked in two different clonal batches. The first, the close planted 777 Clone was placed directly into two small clay amphora pot, 100% destemmed. The second pick, coming from the 115 clone, was 100% destemmed and placed into an open puncheon. Both batches undertook fermentation naturally, and were plunged gently daily. The fruit remained on skins, for approximately four weeks in total, where all vessels were covered and given a wet cap daily, and stored with no additions. Both components were pressed off, blended together, then returned gently into amphorae for three and a half months for further aging and to undergo malolactic fermentation naturally. The Amphorae was then racked gently into a small stainless steel vessel to clarify naturally, for two weeks prior to bottling. It was bottled without any stabilisation, fining or filtration, and without any added sulphur. For the final blend, clone 777, represents 85% and the clone 115 represents 15%.
