Serrat is a boutique winery owned and operated by Tom and Nadège Carson, with support from Kate Thurgood. Tom is an acclaimed Australian winemaker, known for his tenure as Chief Winemaker at Yering Station, where he helped shape the winery’s success.

A career highlight was winning the Jimmy Watson Trophy in 2013 for the 2012 Yabby Lake Block 1 Pinot Noir, the first ever awarded to a Pinot Noir. Since 2008, he has led the Kirby Family Vineyards (Yabby Lake and Heathcote Estate) as General Manager and Chief Winemaker, while also judging at major wine shows.

Serrat reflects their combined expertise and passion, producing small-batch, estate-grown wines of precision and character. The Serrat vineyard was established in 2001, planted at an exceptional density of 8,800 vines per hectare, over four times the Australian average with plantings of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Viognier, and a small amount of Grenache. Over the years, the vineyard has expanded thoughtfully, with additions of Nebbiolo, Barbera, Malbec, and Grenache Noir (2010). In 2016, Serrat became the first to plant Grenache Blanc in Victoria, followed by more Nebbiolo and Shiraz in 2017.
