Planted in '84 and extended in '86; certified organic in '21. 100% destemmed and matured in French hogsheads (40% new). A medium-deep, crimson ruby. Exotic aromas of intense, brambly red and black fruits intermingle with dark rose, blood orange and a little leather. The medium-bodied palate is simultaneously concentrated yet beautifully balanced with ripe, persistent and supple tannins rounding out a seriously good wine to drink over the next 10–15 years at least.

'Planted 1984 (extended in 1986), MV6, high-density, organic 1.2m x 1.2m spacing (6,944 vines/ha), likely the earliest high-density Pinot planting in Australia. Low yields and serious structure. Dark fruit, herbs, spice and tannin. Always the most powerful and age-worthy Pinot in the line-up.' Gus Pollard
'Marked by characteristic dark fruits, alluring savoury spice, and herbal complexity, it’s a multi-layered and intense release tightly packed with Serre attitude, and equally articulate. That’s the beauty of Serré: a wine full of contrast. Shaped by the depth and succulence of this vintage, the ’24 clings to the palate like Velcro. Clearly built for a beautiful life in the cellar, this release will surely go down as one finest in Serre’s eventful thirty-year history. A remarkable Geelong Pinot of presence and power.' Bibendum
