Seresin Beautiful Chaos Amphora White 2023
92 POINTS: Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review
"Cloudy amber-orange. An enveloping nose of honey with ripe apple, blood orange and pithy pink grapefruit. A hint of thyme and something savoury underneath. Yet to unfurl fully despite being perfumed. Funky and savoury reduction appears on the palate alongside the intense flavours of dried cranberry, raisin, fig and pear. Chewy tannins lend structure to the large-scaled, weighty palate which is more reliant on phenolics than acidity. Impressive concentration and a long, spicy, earthy finish. Despite the soft acidity, this will likely keep and develop for a few years without issue."

Seresin winemaker Tamra Washington gets to really experiment with the Beautiful Chaos range. A blend of Pinot Gris and Riesling, all from the biodynamic Seresin vineyard, it was fermented on skins like an ‘orange’ or amber wine for 21-26 days; one portion in amphora and another in stainless steel, before being basket-pressed into old oak barrels to age for three months, during which the softening malolactic fermentation occurred naturally.
ABV: 12.5%
