Terre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2021
Author: Jeni Port
Wine Companion 2023
“Hand-picked fruit from the Crayeres vineyard, whole-bunch pressed, cold settled in stainless steel for 3 weeks, fermented in large-format French oak. Matured on full lees with no bâtonnage. Settled for a month in tank prior to bottling. This is a marvel. It has all of the sophistication and line of the Down to Earth Sauvignon Blanc, but it works within a startlingly streamlined framework of phenolics. This is slippery and supple in texture, with rivulets of flavour that ripple and course through the mouth, long after the wine has left. We are lucky to have the quality of sauvignon blanc that we do here in Australia and this is one of the very best. An amazing display of class.”
