Description

From the hands of Tom and Nadège Carson comes superstar Victorian winery, Serrat.

Tom is one of the country's most respected wine minds. He has been one of the most formidable winemakers in Victoria since 1996. Now with his small, Burgundian-inspired private label, Serrat, picking up incredible accolades all over the country, the wines are in incredibly high demand.

The Serrat Shiraz Viognier, from their intensely close-planted vineyard just outside Yarra Glen, is modelled off the great wines of Cote Rotie.

Finely boned but intensely powerful, this is rapidly becoming one of the country's finest and collectable examples of the Shiraz Viognier blend.

98 Points - "A vibrant crimson purple. A truly wonderful set of wines from Tom Carson in 2021, cementing (not that it's needed) his place as one of Australia's best winemakers and the Serrat vineyard as a great, modern-day site. Seductive aromas of cherry plums, dark cherries and raspberries, graphite, sandalwood incense and star anise. Even better on the palate, which is creamy textured, bright, crunchy and perfectly balanced. The tannins are silken and long. This seriously good and gorgeous wine can be enjoyed now and over the next 10–15 years, if not longer." - Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion)

This wine is from the Shiraz block planted in 2003 with Viognier from the original 2001 plantings.


This is the most opulent Shiraz for many a year, it has loads of black and darker red fruits and a trademark hint of black pepper. The fruit intensity is remarkable coupled with the signature fragrant violet note. It’s just loaded with fruit and florals and complex Asian spices.


The palate is saturated and layered with a superb array of silken mouthcoating tannins. Black, blue and red fruits, spice, perfume and fragrant. The 2021 has a richness, fleshiness and is deeply concentrated, one of our absolute best releases. Ever.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
