Serré is Bannockburn’s most iconic and memorable Pinot Noir. It comes from 1.2 hectares of densely-planted (9,000 per hectare), low-yielding, own-rooted vines that were planted exclusively to the MV6 clone in 1984 and 1986. It is, as far as we know, Australia’s oldest plot of densely-planted Pinot Noir-which helps explain the striking complexity and intense concentration found in this wine. Other key drivers of this power are the naturally low-yielding basalt and limestone-rich soils and the north-south orientation. It typically produces the Estate’s most powerful, deeply flavoured and long-lived Pinot Noir.
