Organic, biodynamic and vegan-friendly, this gorgeous pinot noir smells like baking spices and sweet, dark cocoa dusted over caramelized plums served in a bowl carved from oak.  Seresin’s flagship pinot, the ‘purest expression’ they can make, is intense in the mouth, with high acidity and muscular, supple tannins. The length of flavour is persistent, brooding and moody and yet there’s vibrancy and tension to burn.  Pricey, but mind-numbingly nicey.

Sip with: Ruth Pretty’s Duck Shepherd’s Pie
