Serrat Grenache Blanc 2024

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.
This wine is made from small patch of Grenache Blanc, the first planting ever in the Yarra Valley as far as they are aware. The clone is Entav 143, They were on the waiting list for the first release of the variety in Australia for five years. Fermented in an old French oak 500L and bottled in August 2024.
Tasting Notes: 
"The wine is lifted and floral with a citrus edge and mineral flinty note to the aromas. The palate is fine and flinty with lovely depth and focused, it has weight but is kept in check by a nice phenolic grip and mineral finish. It’s a quietly complex white that’s already drinking well, though it will evolve beautifully over the next couple of years." Tom Carson
