About this wine
Serrat Close Planted Grenache Noir, Yarra Valley
Serrat is the small-scale Yarra Valley venture of winemaker Tom Carson and his wife Nadège. Inspired by high-density European viticulture, the vineyard is planted at 6,600 vines per hectare. This intense root competition restricts yields, resulting in fruit of natural concentration and balance. It stands as one of the few examples of cool-climate Grenache in the country.
Winemaking is low-intervention. Hand-harvested fruit is fermented with wild yeasts and a small component of whole bunches. Maturation takes place in large, seasoned French oak puncheons and casks, allowing the variety's pure character to show without heavy wood influence.
The nose delivers lifted perfumes of red cherry, wild strawberry and pomegranate, accented by rose petal and subtle spice. Medium-bodied and silky on the palate, it offers crisp red-berry flavours, fine chalky tannins and bright natural acidity that drives a long, fresh finish.

Serrat
Serrat is the boutique family label of renowned winemaker Tom Carson and his wife Nadège. Located near the township of Yarra Glen in the Yarra Valley, their small vineyard holdings consist of 0.8ha each of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, 0.4ha of Shiraz, and a small amount of Viognier. Serrat is a Catalonian word meaning close-planting and Serrat’s vineyard is planted to 8800 vines per hectare, four times more than the average Australian density. Highly labour intensive, each vine grows enough grapes for about one bottle of wine a year.
