The 2018 is loaded with stone fruits, rock melon, grapefruit and citrus notes. There is an under lying thread of complexity from the natural ferment, full use of solids and barrel fermentation. The palate is detailed and fleshy with layers of pithy texture with a minerally infused intensity. Long, elegant but with restrained power and concentration.
Serrat is the family business of former Yering Station and current Yabby Lake winemaker Tom Carson and partner Nadege Sune. Serrat has 8,800 vines per hectare - more than four times the average density, however their vines carry only a few bunches each. Remarkably, it takes one vine to produce each bottle of Serrat wine; these are genuine, hand-crafted wines of the highest quality.
