Serrat
Close Planted Yarra Valley Chardonnay
Yarra Valley, Port Phillip, Victoria, Australia
The tasting notes for this wine from 32 weeks ago pretty much cover it. Aromas of cashews, lees stirring , barrel ferment characters. These aromas dominate any fruit aromas of citrus and melon. What you might say is a “worked” Chardonnay but most enjoyable. The following night it had filled out somewhat with a peach note.

Jul 8th, 2021Pale to mid Lemon in colour. Funky leesy struck match sulphidic notes together with grapefruit, white peach. Barrel ferment characters with lees stirring I would guess. Slightly “worked”. A light to medium weight palate showing grapefruit and mild stone fruit notes. Some good winemaking on show here from an excellent winemaker in Tom Carson. Serrat is the personal venture of Tom and his French wife, Nadege. His main job is chief winemaker for the highly credentialed Mornington Peninsula winery, Yabby Lake.
