Seresin Estate was established in 1992 by the renowned cinematographer Michael Seresin, whose lifelong passion for organics and respect for the natural world underpin every aspect of the estate.
His philosophy led him to adopt organic practices from the outset and embrace biodynamics long before they became industry mainstays.
Formally certified organic by Biogro in 2003 and biodynamic by Demeter since 2010, Raupo Creek is farmed as a living ecosystem featuring hand-tended vines, thriving biodiversity, and soils treated with reverence.
The vineyard encompasses approximately 50.49ha planted in a diverse mix of premium varieties including pinot noir, sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, pinot gris, riesling, syrah, and viognier
Beyond its vines, the estate includes olive groves, orchards, native vegetation, pastoral land, and abundant vegetable gardens, creating a serene and self-sustaining rural environment.
Less than 20 minutes from Blenheim, the property offers tranquillity, pedigree, and a proven history of premium yields and consistently high-performing vintages.
Mike Laven, Rural & Agribusiness Special Projects Advisor at Colliers, has been exclusively appointed to market the property for sale via deadline private treaty closing at 2pm on Tuesday 14 April, unless sold prior.
The Seresin Estate brand and intellectual property, wine inventory, and vineyard equipment are also available for purchase.
Laven says Raupo Creek Vineyard stands among Marlborough’s most distinctive and celebrated vineyard sites.
“Raupo Creek Vineyard is a truly special purchasing opportunity. Pinot noir from this site is celebrated globally for its dark berry profile, earth, spice, forest floor, and layered herbal complexity,” Laven says.
“Wine connoisseurs consistently praise its balance and sophistication, placing it among Marlborough’s most coveted single vineyard wines.”
Laven says the estate’s commitment to organics, combined with its craftsmanship-driven approach, positions Raupo Creek as a rare find in the global vineyard market.
“Raupo Creek is an exceptional opportunity for purchasers who value regenerative viticulture, artisanal winemaking, and the craft of world-class, site-driven wines. It is a vineyard with considerable long-term potential and a reputation few estates can match.”
