Very Limited Stocks | 97 Points - Philip Rich
Serrat is the family winery of Yabby Lake winemaker Tom Carson and partner Nadege Suné. 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.
Serrat Pinot Noir has gained a huge following and is always one of Australia's most sought-after Pinot Noir. The 2022 Serrat Pinot Noir is another sublime example; fragrant, with a silky mouthfeel and a palate packed vibrant red fruit flavours and lovely savoury undertones. As always, our very limited stocks will sell out fast.
"97 Points. A mix of MV6 and Pommard clones; 25% whole bunches, natural-yeast ferment, 12 days on skins. Matured in 500L French oak casks (33% new). A deep-ish bright crimson. Darkly fruited with black raspberries, cherry skins, crushed violets, sandalwood and fennel seeds. You barely notice the whole bunches. The subtly creamy and detailed palate gets better the longer it sits in the glass, and I love how this wine is built to age yet still drinking well in its youth. 13% alc. Screwcap. Drink: 2022 - 2031"- Philip Rich, winecompanion.com.au.
"This wine is from the orignal of MV6 Pinot Noir, plus a proportion of newer plantings of 848, MV6 and Pommard clone. We added about 30% whole bunch in the ferments in 2022, which has given the wine quite a punchy and fragrant aroma, that evolves nicely as the wine sits in the glass. It was aged in 500 litre French oak puncheons, on lees for 11 months. The bouquet is dominated by the darker cherry and a plummy hint coupled with red fruit spectrum, strawberry, raspberry, spice with detailed fragrance and floral notes. The palate is tightly wound with some serious tannic intensity underneath a silky and voluminous mouthfeel. Serious extract and density."- Serrat Wines.
