Made by Tom Carson (chief winemaker at Yabby Lake) as his side project. 2013 and 2014 (the latter being Halliday’s wine of the year) of this wine were awarded Australia wide Trophies and Tom says this 2015 is just as good. Sweet red fruits (mulberry) with heaps of spice - Barb said peppery notes. A fabulous wine with impeccable balance- a perfect match with the free range chicken dish that Barb created. 98 points from James Halliday. Tom Carson for the last few years has been Chief Judge of the Royal Queensland Wine Show. His expertise shows in his winemaking.

Oct 25th, 2025Another excellent cool climate Shiraz Viognier - this one from the Yarra Valley. Serrat is Tom Carson's family venture away from his mainstream Yabby Lake. The 2014 vintage of this sold out in 48 hours once it James Halliday Red wine of the year for 2015. Loved the Nose on this of Minerals Dirt Coal Dust - Sulphidic one could say. Very close planted at 8800 vines per hectare.
