The Serre vineyard was planted in 1984 and has been farmed organically since then. It received its certification in 2021. Stuart was inspired by the iconic vineyards of the Cote d'Or and decided to replicate them in Geelong by planting the vineyard at high density and using low trellising. By doing this, Stuart was ahead of his time, making it the oldest close-planted vineyard in Australia.
"This is autumnal and sinewy and savoury and spiced, but it’s also sleek, harmonious and settled. It just feels right. It bursts onto the palate with red cherries, rhubarb, tangerine and strawberry, with inlays of dried leaves, pepper and smoked cedarwood, but it’s the soft-firm of the finish, and the way it seems to both dry and expand at once, and the way the juices keep flowing and fanning, that really mark its quality.."
